in the vineyard :

All the vineyards were pruned to two-bud spurs during July to August and shoots were removed during October. Only two to three shoots were left per hand-spaced spur. After verÃ¡ison, which took place in January, uneven bunches were removed for better flavour concentration.

about the harvest:

The grapes were picked from a number of vineyards on the slopes of the Simonsberg. Soils typically tend to be derived from decomposed granite and so-called Table Mountain sandstone. The grapes were picked by hand and carefully transported to the cellar in bins containing 400kg of grapes.

in the cellar :

After six days fermentation in steel tanks, the grapes were carefully pressed to ensure extraction of soft tannins. After fermentation, the wine was matured in a combination of steel tank and 4th fill oak hogsheads before blending and bottling.
