in the vineyard : Exceptional quality wines were generally made from the 2006 harvest. It was warm to very warm with dry periods during ripening and harvest. The growing season was windy. The vigour of the vineyards was impaired and bunch and berry size was reduced. This favoured the production of top quality wines with concentrated flavours.

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: Grapes were harvested from the end of January through February.

in the cellar : Specially chosen grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness. The grapes were crushed and fermented separately. After fementation the Chardonnay was given light contact with wood to enhance the character and complexity of the wine. It was then blended with the Chenin Blanc and bottled.
