in the vineyard : Climate: This was among the trickiest of Cape vintages. It was hot and exceptionally dry. Grape ripening was early by 2 - 3 weeks and often uneven, compounding uneven spring budburst. Exceptionally small berries resulted in concentrated flavours and promising colours.

about the harvest: Harvest date: February to the middle of March.

Three noble grape varieties were harvested at an optimal ripeness of 24.5 degrees balling.

in the cellar : The different varieties were crushed separately and fermented on the skins until dry. After malolactic fermentation each of the wines was matured in 300 litre new French oak barrels for 26 months. The wines were then blended and bottled.
