in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from vineyards in the Paarl and Stellenbosch areas. Planted between 1990 and 1998, the vines are grown in soil originating from decomposed granite on south-westerly to westerly facing slopes, situated some 300m above sea level. Grafted onto nematode-resistant rootstock Richter 99, R110 and 101-114, they are grown under dryland conditions and, when necessary, receive supplementary irrigation from an overhead sprinkler system.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested by hand and machine at 23° to 24° Balling during February and March.

in the cellar : The fruit was crushed and cool-fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 25° to 28° C for two weeks. Upon completion of malolactic fermentation the wine was matured in wood for a period of 8 to 12 months.
