in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from Darling, Durbanville and Philadelphia vineyards planted between 1990 and 1997, grown in well-drained, deep red and yellow soils.

about the harvest: The fruit was harvested by hand at 24,5Â° Balling with each block individually vinified.

in the cellar : The grapes were fermented on the skins for an average of 10 days and then given additional skin contact of five days. The free run wine was kept separate from the pressed wine, all fermented in small tanks, manualy pumped over. Once spontaneous malolactic fermentation occurred the wine was transferred to wood, where it was racked regularly over the 18 month maturation period. It was aged in a combination of French (80%), Hungarian and American barrels, all new.
