ageing : The wood component is well integrated with fruit and will drink well within 5 - 8 years.

in the vineyard : Grapes (25.5° Balling ave) were sourced from two very different terroirs - one no irrigation vineyard in Agter-Paarl and the other on Lindhorst farms. All grapes were harvested at optimum physiological ripeness for balance and structure.

about the harvest: Grapes were carefully hand-sorted, crushed and cold soaked for 48 hours.
