in the vineyard : Terroir
Climate, soil, altitude and slope orientation are chosen to capture as much varietal character as possible. The climate is mild with north facing slopes. Cooling breezes from the Atlantic Ocean ensure rich, slow growing crops. Soils are predominantly medium textured and well drained with good water holding capacity.

The vineyards (Viticulturist: Bennie Liebenberg)
The grapes were chosen from a vineyard situated in the Durbanville area that produced a yield of 8 tons/ha. The vines were grafted onto phylloxera-resitant rootstocks and the 5-wire hedge system was used for trellising while supplementary irrigation was given at the varaison. Pest and disease control was implemented according to South African subjective IPW standards.
about the harvest: The grapes were handpicked at 25° – 25.5° Balling at the end of February.
in the cellar : Grapes were whole bunch pressed and the juice was allowed to settle overnight. It fermented in stainless steel tanks for the first 5º Balling and was then transferred to third fill French oak barrels. Fermentation took place at 23° C for 7-10 days. The lees were stirred every two weeks during the nine months the wine spent in the barrel. The wine did not undergo malolactic fermentation.
