in the vineyard : The grapes for this wine come from a bush vine vineyard on the farm Koopmanskloof in the Agter-Paarl. The vineyard is un-irrigated and planted on deep well drained Malmesbury shale soils. The grapes were very well balanced and we harvest it at a sugar of 30° B in a very good condition.

in the cellar : Grapes were crushed into stainless steel tanks and cold soaked at 14° C for 2 days to extract as much colour and fruit before fermentation. Wild yeast was then allowed to start the fermentation before a dry Saccharomyces yeast was inoculated to ensure a controlled fermentation at 24° - 26º C. After about half of the original sugar was fermented, the skins were then pressed into a stainless steel tank. The must was chilled to 12° C and fortified to 18 vol % alcohol with wine spirits to prevent further fermentation and mixed once a week to help the wine to marry with the added alcohol. The wine was cleared up and filtered prior to bottling.
