- 38% Grenache, 36% Syrah, 10% Cinsault, 9% Carignan, 7% Pinotage
- Produced from grapes from 12 different vineyards harvested in 16 lots
- This vintage is again based on grapes grown in granite soils from the Paardeberg, blended with structured shale/schists from the east, clay rich soils from the north and iron rich soils from the west
- The 2020 vintage again includes a portion of wine that was fermented and matured in a concrete vessel – both Grenache and Syrah
- Along with the concrete vessels, the wine was also matured in old 500 L neutral French oak barrels and a 4 100 L foudre (Pinotage)
- The Elpidios is produced in similar fashion to our main Grenache noir in terms of long, gentle extraction, the use of 50% on average whole bunches and then pressed off
- After bottling, the wine was aged in bottle for 18 months before release
