in the vineyard : 

The grapes were sourced from vineyards in the Durbanville and Paarl areas. Planted between 19 84 and 1993, the vineyards grow in Tukulu and Oakleaf soils, and are situated at altitudes of 120 m to 160 m. Grafted onto nematode-resistant rootstock Richter 99, the vines received supplementary irrigation by means of an overhead sprinkler system.

about the harvest: 

The grapes were harvested by hand between 28° and 40° Balling during May.

in the cellar : 

They were crushed and then cool-fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for six weeks at 16°C. The wine did not undergo malolactic fermentation, but instead was put through a separator to prevent fermentation once the residual sugar had been reached. The wine received no wood maturation.
