in the vineyard : The wine was made from 4 year old vineyards on the border with Fairview.

about the harvest: The first grapes of the 2005 vintage were harvested during the middle of January 2005 and the last grapes arrived in the cellar during the last week of March 2005. The season was relatively dry and resulted in low yields and wines with good concentration.

in the cellar : The wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks by pumping the juice over the cap several times a day. After alcoholic fermentation of 8 days, the must was pressed and inoculated with malolactic bacteria for a secondary fermentation. The wine matured in 300 liter French Oak barrels and on French Oak staves for 15 months.
