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

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

in the cellar : Following settling, the clean juice was racked and inoculated. Once fermentation was underway, 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 approximately six months.
