in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from vineyards in the Helderberg, Bottelary and Agter Paarl areas, situated at altitudes ranging from 50m to 180m above sea level. The vines are predominantly trellised with a quarter of the vineyards grown as bush vines, and vary in age between 6 and 10 years.
in the cellar : This wine was made in a medium to full-bodied style for early enjoyment. It was fermented for four days on the skins to preserve as much fruit as possible and extract enough color without extracting the full-bodied tannins. The wine was matured on French oak staves for 9 months to add a bit of spice and complexity.
