in the vineyard : The wine was made with sun-ripened Muscat (locally known as Hanepoot) grapes grown in the Breede River Valley.

Muscat d'Alexandrie is a white wine grape that is a member of the Muscat family of Vitis vinifera. It is considered an "ancient vine", and wine experts believe it is one of the oldest genetically unmodified vines still in existence.
in the cellar : The grapes were de-stemmed and crushed into an open fermenter and left overnight at a low temperature so that all the delicious honey, Muscat and fresh fruit salad flavours that are locked in the grape skins could be extracted. The grapes were pressed the following day and fermentation was stopped by adding a blend of young brandy spirits and grape spirits to the juice. It was then filtered and bottled to assure a fresh but light Muscat that is a wonderfully versatile drink.
