in the vineyard : Spectacular panoramic views of Stellenbosch and Cape Town, cool hillside vineyards planted to classic varieties, and a modern family-run winery have combined to produce distinctive wines displaying the ripe concentrated fruity accessibility of the New World, with the complex elegance of classic wine styles.

A small south-facing 19 year old block of Riesling is home to this limited release wine. Situated at 280m above sea level on Glenrosa soil, the vineyard is planted to Geisenheim clone 239 on Richter 110 rootstock. Misty weather during veraison encouraged botrytis (pourriture noble) which concentrates the flavours and sugars.

about the harvest: Hand-selected and harvested on 22nd March 2006.
