The Sangiovese grapes were sourced from a single vineyard in the Stellenbosch region. The north to northwest-facing vineyard grows at an altitude of 300m, was planted in 1998 and is 1ha in size. The vines are grafted onto nematode-resistant Richter 99 rootstock and grow in soils of decomposed granite. Trellised on a seven-wire system, the vines received no irrigation, and yielded 6 tons per hectare.
