AWARDS

SAA inflight 2006 - First Class and Premier

ageing : The wine will reach its full potential in the next five to eight years.

in the vineyard : Viticulturist: Eben Archer
Planted between 1989 and 1991, the vineyards are grown on slopes facing west and north-west in decomposed granite and Table Mountain sandstone soils and yielded an average of 5,1 tons per hectare.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested by hand at 24,7Â° Balling in mid-March and were destalked and crushed before separating the juice from the skins.

in the cellar : The juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks at 28Â°C over five days. Malolactic fermentation and a brief settling period took place in tank before the wine was transferred to 300-litre oak barrels for its maturation phase over a period of 16 months in a combination of new French (85%), American (14%) and Hungarian (1%) oak.
