ageing : This medium full style Chenin Blanc will mature for up to two years in the bottle.

in the vineyard : The grapes were harvested from low yield-bearing bush vines from the Helderberg region. Yields averaged approximately 8 tons per hectare. These vineyards are situated at lower lying altitude with southwestern facing slopes. The vines were planted on deep red soils with superb water retention. This leads to a good root development, which supplies the vines with optimum moisture during the summer ripening period.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested from 23Âº - 24.5Âº Balling early in the morning and immediately cooled down to 12Â° C.

in the cellar : After harvesting, extended skin contact followed. After good settling, the wine was cold fermented and left on the lees for three months before filtration and bottling.
