in the vineyard : (Viticulturist: Bennie Liebenberg)
The grapes were sourced from vineyards in the Stellenbosch, Paarl, Robertson and Durbanville areas, ranging in age from 9 to 17 years. The vines are grown in soils varying from decomposed granite to deep Clovelly and Hutton, with excellent drainage. Located at altitudes from 210-410m, the trellised vineyards face south-east to south-west and are thus ideally positioned to take advantage of prevailing sea-breezes. Wind damage is minimised through appropriate canopy management and row orientation.
in the cellar : After crushing and gently pressing, the juice is then cold fermented in stainless steel tanks. Careful attention is given to cellaring prior to bottling to ensure retention of natural fruit and fermentation flavours.
