in the vineyard : Warm weather experienced during January resulted in an earlier than usual start to the harvest. These conditions lasted well into the second week of February and lead to rapidly rising sugar levels. From mid-February temperatures declined and subsequently the sugars dropped and harvesting of white and red grapes slowed considerably. Due to the cooler conditions sugar levels increased very slowly while grape flavours developed noticeably. The ripening conditions were close to perfect for the tail-end of the crop.

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 from the end of January till February.

in the cellar : Specially chosen grapes were crushed and fermented until an off-dry wine was achieved. The wine was then bottled.
