in the vineyard :

The grapes were harvested from 22 year old vineyards situated on slopes adjacent to the Berg River in Wellington. The microclimate surrounding the vines was influenced by the vineyardâ€™s close proximity to the river. Supplementary irrigation, fertilisation and gravel stone soils caused moderate growth and low yield-bearing crops of superb quality. At 50% colouring of the grapes, green bunch dropping ensured optimum ripening of the grapes at lower sugar levels.

about the harvest:

The grapes were harvested at 22Â°B and underwent three days of cold maceration.

in the cellar :

The wine was then fermented for ten days at 20 - 25Â°C with chosen dry yeast. After fermented dry, the wine was racked from the skins and malolactic fermentation finished in the stainless steel tanks.
