AWARDS
2009 Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show - Bronze medal (70/100)

ageing : Should mature well for 5 - 10 years.

in the vineyard : A combination of different terroirs.

about the harvest: Grapes were harvested in February 2007 at optimum ripeness levels.

in the cellar : Grapes were vinified separately. Early during the course of alcoholic fermentation, the different varieties showed characteristics that lend itself to possibilities of creating our first blend. The different varieties were matured separately in mainly French oak barrels from different coopers (to assure diversity and complexity) for almost 10 months after which it was carefully blended (it took a couple of weeks to determine the perfect balance between the different identities of the different varieties!), stabilized and bottled.
