in the vineyard : About the area
South Africa's vineyards are mostly situated in the Western Cape region, near to the coast. This is the southernmost region of the African continent, and has a Mediterranean type climate and diverse soils perfectly suited to quality grape production.

Vintage conditions
Cool temperate conditions during the growing season resulted in small, concentrated berries. Veraison was even, therefore ensuring even ripening of grapes. The period was characterized by low disease incidence. During harvest, the cooler than average summer temperatures resulted in an excellent balance between sugar and acid. Lower yields deliver a well balanced wine that offers intense fruit flavours.

about the harvest: Harvest date: End of January to middle February

in the cellar : Specially chosen grapes, from the cooler parts of the Western Cape, were crushed and the skins were left in contact with the juice for 4 - 8 hours. The juice was fermented dry and then bottled.
