in the vineyard : 100% Shiraz, the grapes originating in vineyards varying in growing area beteen Simonsberg Paarl, Paarl and the Stellenbosch region. Vines age between ten and twenty years with soil types ranging from stony and alluvial to clay-rich.

The vineyard was pruned to two-bud spurs during July to August. Shoots were removed leaving only two to three per hand-spaced spur. Shortly after veraison, which took place from the beginning of January to February, uneven bunches were removed for better flavour concentration in the berries.

about the harvest: 100% of the grapes were hand-picked during the early hours of the day to ensure retention of the fine fruit flavours. 2008 delivering wines with both balanced concentration and ample fruit expression.

in the cellar : After crushing, a maximum of two hours' cold soak was allowed to achieve the characteristic light salmon, Rosé colour. Made from the free-run juice only, this white wine is cool-fermented to achieve delightful, fresh flavours.
