in the vineyard : Grapes were sourced from trellised vineyards in the Durbanville, Slanghoek, Paarl and Darling areas. The grapes grow in Clovelly soil at between 80 m and 150 m above sea level. The vineyards were planted between 1977 and 1989. Grafted onto nematode resistant rootstock Richter 99 and 101 â€“ 14, the vines received supplementary irrigation from a micro irrigation system while some vineyards grow under dryland conditions.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested by hand at between 21,5Â° and 22,5Â° Balling from the end of February to end of March.

in the cellar : They were crushed and then cool-fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for two to three weeks at 13Â°C. Skin contact was allowed for approximately four hours.
