in the vineyard : Viticulturist: Wayne Gabb
The grapes were sourced from vineyards at Lomond in the Gansbaai area, which is situated in the valley of the Uilenkraal River, approximately 8km from the sea. The vineyards are planted on northerly and southerly slopes ranging in altitude from 16m to 264m above sea level and growing in soils ranging from deep sandy to relatively shallow structured soils. The vines are trellised on a 5-wire hedge system and pest and disease control is done according to the IPW rules and standards.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested by hand between 22.5° - 23° Balling.

in the cellar : Winemaker: Kobus Gerber
After harvesting the grapes were handled reductively with the juice cold-fermented between 10° - 12° C to preserve the natural grape flavours. The wine was left on the lees for eight weeks before being racked. The Semillon was matured in 300 litre French oak barrels for 6 months before blended with the other two unoaked white wines.
