Gadda da Vida

The Limestone Rocks estate wines stand for the special connection between Pinotage and the lime-rich terroir of the Springfontein Rim. They are among the estate’s most characterful wines, combining power and volume with the freshness and minerality typical of Springfontein.

The maritime limestone forms the foundation. The vines root deep into the limestone-shaped soils, drawing water and minerals from deeper soil layers. Together with the cool coastal climate, the constant Atlantic winds and the pristine fynbos vegetation, a terroir emerges that gives the wines particular tension and depth.

The Limestone Rocks wines are made with the utmost degree of manual work. The grapes are vinified separately and gently before the individual components are blended into a characterful cuvée. Extended maturation in barriques gives the wine time to bring structure and aromas together without masking its mineral origin.

After bottling, the wines mature for many more months in our cellar before being released. Bottled unfiltered, natural sediment may form as the wine ages.

The Limestone Rocks are wines for long development – powerful and concentrated, yet carried by freshness, minerality and the unmistakable signature of the Springfontein Rim.
