AWARDS
2009 Old Mutual Trophy Show - Silver medal (80/100)
Veritas 2007 - Bronze
in the vineyard : A blend of Red Muscadel from Seidelberg and another Paarl vineyard. The season was very cool except for the hot spell during January.

about the harvest: The 2008 harvest was extremely interesting and unpredictable with heat waves, cold spells and rain. It promises to be a good harvest with beautiful wines.

in the cellar : The grapes received 12 hours skin contact to extract some of the Muscat character before pressing and settling. After racking from the lees, the juice was inoculated with a yeast strain especially suitable for the making of Rosé wines (NT 50). The fermentation temperature was kept between 14° and 16° Celsius. The different components were blended during the last week of March 2007, after which the wine was stabilized prior to bottling.
