A collection showcasing skill, creativity and a pioneering spirit. Together, Cellar Master Takuan von Arnim and Winemaker Tim Hoek identify single blocks of remarkable vines in the Franschhoek region with which to experiment.
Limited releases of site-specific Franschhoek wines are only available in exceptional vintages. The wines are collector’s pieces as Takuan and Tim continue to innovate year upon year. These are wines made for wine lovers, visionaries and innovators – people who break the mould and people who enjoy a great tale behind the bottle.
Each wine tells a story and has a distinct personality. Some used varietals not found in any of our ranges, while others use alternative methods or even grapes earmarked for entirely different wines. No two releases are the same, and each celebrates artistic freedom as much as the terroir of Franschhoek.
