Krummelklip undergoes a long, slow fermentation in an open top fermenter. Mostly de-stemmed whole berries, with a 15% wholecluster portion. Fermentation is more an ‘infusion’ process than ‘extracing’. Light pigeage with occasional pumpovers on a healthy cap. Basket pressed with quite low yields from this. As with all SoS wines, 100% completion of malolactic conversion during elevage. Aged in neutral 225L barrels, on its fine lees, for 11 months. On the nose are notes of blackberry, cassis, cedar, and a subtle leafiness on the nose. The palate is full-bodied with super fine-grained tannins, high acidity, and notes of black fruits, tobacco, and even a hint of clay-like minerality. Seriously, this is a world-class Cab that deserves to be in the hands of all wine lovers.

Vigneron, Bernhard Bredell, hails from a long lineage of winemakers, rooted in the rich wine-farming heritage of the Lower Helderberg region in Southern Stellenbosch. With over 160 years of family legacy in wine cultivation, Bernhard proudly represents the seventh generation of winemakers in the Bredell family.

In 2016, Bernhard embarked on his personal journey and established Scions of Sinai, a venture inspired by the iconic granite outcrop known as Sinai Hill. Nestled within this historic terrain, Bernhard’s vision is dedicated to honoring the ancient dry-farmed bush vines meticulously tended by generations before him. Many of these vines, rooted in the soil by his late grandfather during the 1960s and 1970s, serve as the heart and soul of Scions of Sinai

At the core of our philosophy lies a commitment to crafting wines of unparalleled purity and authenticity, echoing the very essence of their terroir. Each bottle encapsulates the intrinsic honesty and character of its origin, speaking volumes of the land from which it emerges.

Situated in the Lower Helderberg of Southern Stellenbosch, our vineyards benefit from the region’s distinctive maritime influence and the characteristically lighter granite soils. These unique terroir elements contribute to the unparalleled expression found in each bottle of Scions of Sinai wine.
