in the vineyard : The grapes are a special selection from our coastal vineyards that showed exceptional quality in the 2007 vintage. Dry land vineyards with well weathered deep red soil and good water retention.

The name is that of the farm in Durbanville, Fisantekraal; meaning the gathering of pheasants.

about the harvest: Handpicked early morning of the last week of January, packed with dry ice and transported to the Franschhoek Cellar to be crushed.

in the cellar : The grapes were crushed with 18 hours skin contact. Settling took place over a 2 day period and fermentation at 12Â°C for 20 days. Lees contact for 6 months with the lees been stirred up once a week prior to bottling.
