in the vineyard : One of our farms is situated at Africa's southern tip, known as The Foot of Africa, the name given to this fine wine. These vineyards are situated at lower lying altitude with southwestern facing slopes. A combination of sand and deep red soils with good water retention led to good root development, supplying the vines with optimum moisture during the summer ripening period. Yields averaged 8 to10 tons per hectare.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested from low yield-bearing bush and trellised vineyards along the most southern regions of our coastline. The grapes were harvested between 22 - 23°B early in the morning and immediately cooled down to 12°C.

in the cellar : Extended skin contact followed. After good settling the wine was cold fermented and left on the lees for two months before filtration and bottling.
