in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from Cape Riesling (Cruchen Blanc) vineyards in the Paarl Valley. Planted between 1969 and 1975, the vineyards are grown in Kroonstad soils on south to south-westerly facing slopes, and are situated at altitudes of between 80m and 120m above sea level. Grafted onto nematode-resistant rootstock Richter 99 and 101 - 114, the vines received supplementary irrigation.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested by hand and machine at 19.5° to 21.5° Balling during February.

in the cellar : The grapes were crushed and cool-fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 13° C for a period of two to three weeks, following settling at 10° C for 24 hours. After the completion of malolactic fermentation, the wine was racked and left on the fine lees until blending. The wine was made reductively to preserve freshness and flavour, as this variety is particularly prone to oxidation.
