in the vineyard : Wines of exceptional quality 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 in February till the beginning of March.
in the cellar : After harvesting the grapes were crushed and then fermented separately on the skins until dry. The resulting wines underwent wood maturation for 3 months before being blended and bottled.
