Rock of Eye is a term long-used by tailors, whose mastery of their craft is judged by their ability to create bespoke garments without the need for precise measurements. Instead, they delicately balance precision and intuition, trusting in their expert eye above all else. The Rock of Eye cannot be taught; it can only be earned through perseverance, passion, and practice. Award-winning winemaker, Coenie Snyman, embraces the same philosophy in his winemaking at Rock of Eye.

The grapes for this wine were carefully selected from three unique sites – located in the Helderberg (planted in 1998), the Polkadraai Hills (planted in 2010) and Simonsberg (planted in 2003) respectively. These sites all have decomposed granite soils in common. The granite soils always deliver powerful wines, but each vineyard expresses this differently.
