in the vineyard : Sourced from various vineyards in the Agter-Paarl region. Mostly un-irrigated, older (15 years+), bush-vine (untrellised) vineyards.

Grapes were healthy, with lower alcohol levels than typical. The previous winter was cold with enough rain, while the early summer was mild but dry. Harvest time saw milder temperatures with fewer heat waves, cooler nights and more cooling southern winds than usual. Somewhat windy conditions during the season made for smaller bunches which resulted in concentrated wines. Both white and red wines look very good for this harvest.

about the harvest: The average yield was low at 6.5 tons/ha.
