in the vineyard : 18 year old vines next to the Franschhoek river contributes to this typical Sauvignon blanc from the famous valley. Producing a low yielding crop of 6 tons / ha from these balanced and well manicured vines situated on a North West facing slope in sandy Tukulu soils.

about the harvest: The grapes were hand picked into small baskets on 08 Feb 2008 in the early morning hours at 22.6° Balling.

in the cellar : Fermented at 12.5° C for a period of 24 days using two noble yeasts namely VIN 7 and VIN 13 at different stages in the fermentation process. The wine was left on its primary lees for 2 months ensuring the full and creamy mouth feel. It then underwent a light filtering and into bottle on the 14 May 2008 ending up with 5500 bottles. A policy of minimal interference in the cellar is followed to ensure all the natural flavours of the fruit are preserved and bottled.
