2008 Veritas Awards - Silver Medal John Platter 2008 - 4 Stars Why make a New Zealand style wine if you are in South Africa.

The grapes were harvested from south-facing vineyards in Devon Valley, Stellenbosch and from Faure vineyards overlooking False Bay. The grapes were picked between 21° B and 24º B and pressed at these different degrees of ripeness.
The grapes were pressed as whole bunches and more than half of the must were fermented naturally with wild yeast at an average temperature of 16ºC. The wine was kept on the lees for 5 months with regular stirring of the lees.
