in the vineyard : January in the Western Cape heralds the beginning of summer and, as the temperatures increase, early ripening grape varieties are ready for picking. The bulk of the harvest takes place in February and March and the sugar/acid ratio of the grapes is monitored daily so that each variety is harvested at optimum ripeness.

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: Chenin Blanc grapes were harvested early at ± 23º Balling for optimum flavour.

in the cellar : After harvesting the grapes were destalked, crushed and pressed. The juice was then fermented until a dry wine was obtained. The wine was then transferred to chilled tanks and injected with CO2 gas to give it its sparkle.
