about the harvest: Harvested by hand in the cool of the morning.

in the cellar : Fermented in temperature controlled open top cement ferementers - called kuipe in Afrikaans or lagars in Portugal - which manual punch downs to gently coax optimum flavour and colour extraction from the grape skins, while maintaining the bold aromatics. The wine is barrel matured in 3rd and 4th fill French oak barrels for 10 months prior to bottling with a light filtration.
