in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from vineyards in the Durbanville, Stellenbosch, Paarl, Malmesbury and Darling regions. The vines, ranging in age from 9 to 13 years and situated on mostly south to south-westerly facing slopes, received either supplementary or drip irrigation. Grafted onto phylloxera -resistant rootstock Richter 99 and 101, they yielded an average of 6 to 8 tons per hectare.

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

in the cellar : After settling, the clean juice was racked prior to fermentation and inoculated. Once fermentation was under way, approximately 40% of the fermenting juice was transferred to a combination of new and second-fill French oak barrels, where the wine remained on the lees for a period of six months.
