AWARDS

2008 Juliet Cullinan Awards - Silver

ageing : This wine is ready for drinking now but also has good structure for aging. It will continue developing over the next 2-3 years.

in the vineyard : This was among the trickiest of Cape vintages. It was hot and exceptionally dry. Grape ripening generally was early by 2 - 3 weeks and often uneven, compounding uneven spring budburst. Exceptionally small berries resulted in concentrated flavours and promising colours.

ABOUTH THE AREA
The beautiful historical town of Stellenbosch lies at the centre of South Africa's premier wine-producing district and boasts a grape growing and winemaking tradition that stretches back to the start of the 17th century. Conditions in this district are particularly well suited to many of the noble grape varieties. The Hutton and Clovelly soils of the valley floors give way to granite soils on the mountain slopes. The area has a Mediterranean type climate.

about the harvest: Specially chosen grapes were harvested at full ripeness.

Harvest date: Beginning of March
