in the vineyard : Viticulturist: Eben Archer
Planted in 1984, the vineyard from which the grapes were sourced is planted in decomposed granite and Table Mountain sandstone. The vines are all grafted onto nematode-resistant Richter 110 rootstocks and are trellised on a five-wire fence system. Due to the warm, dry growing season prior to the 2003 vintage, the vines received two supplementary overhead irrigations to limit water stress. Yields were also restricted to just below 10 tons per hectare.

about the harvest: The grapes were picked by hand at between 24° and 26° Balling.
