in the vineyard : 100% Shiraz, the grapes originating in a single vineyard of twelve years age planted in a gravely soil on the foot-slopes of Simonsberg.

The vineyard was pruned to two-bud spurs during July to August. Shoots were removed leaving only two to three per hand-spaced spur. Shortly after veraison, which took place from the beginning of January to February, uneven bunches were removed for better flavour concentration in the berries.

about the harvest: 100% of the grapes were hand-picked during the early morning to retain freshness. 2006 promises to be a very good vintage, with ample winter rainfall allowing extended ripening and resultant intense, lingering fruit flavours.

in the cellar : After crushing, a maximum of two hoursâ€™ cold soak was allowed to achieve the characteristic light salmon, RosÃ© colour. Made from the free-run juice of the beautiful black Shiraz variety, this white wine is cool-fermented to achieve delightful, fresh flavours
