in the vineyard : Slow ripening conditions resulted in a later than usual start to the 2008 harvest. The cool and wet conditions during the 2007 winter period resulted in small berries with concentrated flavours. Slow ripening ensured slow sugar and phenolic development creating high expectations of the 2008 harvest.

ABOUT THE AREA

about the harvest: Harvesting took place from end January till February.

in the cellar : Specially chosen grapes, from the cooler parts of the Western Cape, were crushed and the skins were left in contact with the juice for 4 - 8 hours. The juice was fermented dry and then bottled.
