in the vineyard : 6 year old vineyards from our Robertson estate.

about the harvest: Grapes were harvested by hand in the 3rd week of February in Robertson.

in the cellar : 75% of the grapes were fermented in 2nd and 3rd filled French oak barrels and the other 25% in stainless steel tanks. The portion in barrel spent 2 months on the primary lees for a creamy texture, and was left to mature for 5 months in barrel before it was blended with the stainless steel tank portion prior to a light fining and bottling.
