in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from trellised vineyards in the Durbanville and Paarl areas. Planted between 1977 and 1989, the vineyards are grown in Clovelly soil, situated at altitudes some 80m to 150m above sea level. Grafted onto nematode-resistant rootstock Richter 99 and 101 - 114, the vines received supplementary irrigation from a microirrigation system while some vineyards are grown under dryland conditions.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested by hand at 21.5° to 22.5° Balling from the end of February to the end of March.

in the cellar : They were crushed and then cool-fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for two to three weeks at 13°C. Skin contact was allowed for approximately four hours.
