in the vineyard : Vintage Conditions
The winter preceding the 2012 vintage was characterised by far lower than avarage rainfall. This trend continued into the summer, resulting in vineyards showing signs of lowere soil moisture by way of the reduced berry size and bunch weight. A cooler ripening season with even temperatures led to steady and measured ripening of the grapes. Overall, the smaller berry size and lowere yields promise great concentration, good quality and intense colour in the 2012 vintage wines.

Soil in the Western Cape
Soil in the Western Cape is ancient (350 million yeas old) weathered soils, of alluvial or volcanic origin. The alluvial souls are from both glacial and marine deposits. Some of the origins of the weathered souls are Talbe Mountain Sandstone, Granite or Malmesbury Shale. These soils have eroded over millennia and are now generally clay rich loam soils, which are most desirable for their ability to retain water for plant during summer months.
in the cellar : The wine was oak matured for 10 months
