in the vineyard : Viticulture
Luckily the better part of the Bovlei Cabernet Sauvignon vintage 2007 was harvested before the worst heatwaves struck in the middle of March. The long ripening period gave Bovlei very good grapes to word with. Excellent fruit flavours and full, soft tannins were the result of the fine weather Bovlei had.

Vinification
The grapes Bovlei received for this Cabernet came from a vineyard situated near the cellar on the northern slopes. The vines are grown on a three wire Perold Trellsing System with drip irrigation. It produced 6.5 ton grapes per hectare.
