in the vineyard : Viticulturist: Eben Archer
The grapes sourced from a single vineyard in the Stellenbosch region. The north-facing vineyard grows at an altitude of 260 m. The vines, now 22 years old, are grafted onto nematode-resistant Richter 99 rootstock and grow in soils of decomposed granite. Trellised on a four-wire system, the vines did not receive supplementary irrigation, and yielded 7 tons per hectare.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested by hand at between 20.5° and 22° Balling during mid-February.

in the cellar : No skin contact was allowed and only the free-run juice was used. Fermentation, for which the pure yeast culture NT116 was, was completed in 18 days. Thereafter the wine was left on the lees for six months before bottling.
