in the vineyard : (Viticulturist: Bennie Liebenberg)
The grapes were sourced from well-established, premier vineyards in the Stellenbosch, Malmesbury and Robertson areas. These trellised vines were planted between 100-250m above sea level, and in the case of Stellenbosch, face south to south-west to take advantage of maritime winds. The vineyards are not irrigated, allowing controlled water stress to limit the yield and intensify the flavour.
