AWARDS
2009 Decanter World Wine Awards - Commended
in the vineyard : The vineyards (viticulturist: Henk van Graan)
The grapes for this wine were handpicked from vineyards growing in the Stellenbosch and Wellington areas. The vines are all trellised and only received irrigation when it was needed. Selecting grapes from these two specific areas resulted in a good combination of sugar levels, fullness and flavour profiles.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested at between 22° and 24° Balling.

in the cellar : The Winemaking (Winemaker: Deon Boshoff) 
After harvesting the grapes were fermented on French oak chips in a stainless steel tank at 15° C. After fermentation, the wine was left on the lees and stirred regularly to contribute to the fullness of the wine on the palate.
