The vineyards are planted on northerly and southerly slopes ranging in altitude from16 m to 264 m about sea-level and grow in soils ranging from deep sandy to relatively shallow structured soils .The vines are trellised on a 5 wire hedge system and pest and disease control is done according to the IPW rules and standards.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested by hand at 23Âº Balling to 24Âº Balling.

in the cellar : Winemaker: Kobus Gerber
The grapes handled reductively with the juice cold-fermented between 10ÂºC and 12ÂºC to preserve the natural grape flavours. The wine was left on the lees for eight weeks before being racked.
