in the vineyard : This was among the trickiest of Cape vintages. It was hot and exceptionally dry. Grape ripening generally was early by 2 â€“ 3 weeks and often uneven, compounding uneven spring budburst. Exceptionally small berries resulted in concentrated flavours and promising colours.

ABOUT THE AREA
South Africa's vineyards are mostly situated in the Western Cape near the coast. This is the southernmost region of the African continent, and has a Mediterranean type climate and diverse soils perfectly suited to quality grape production.

about the harvest: Harvesting took place at optimal ripeness from February till beginning March.

in the cellar : After harvesting the grapes were crushed and the juice was then fermented on the skins until dry. Malolactic fermentation took place, and the wine was then matured in 300 litre oak barrels for 12 months before being blended and bottled.
