in the vineyard : The outstanding quality of 2009 harvest will ensure that it goes down in history as one of South Africa's best. Lower yields and intensely concentrated flavours from extremely healthy grapes mean that producers throughout the winelands are delighted with the results.

The grapes were picked from three premium wine regions: 90% Stellenbosch; 7% Franschhoek; 3% Durbanville. This combination brings the unique flavours from each region in full harmony.

about the harvest: The cooler ripening season - very cold and wet winter with late September rains - caused the harvest to start two weeks later than usual. The grapes where 100% hand picked in the refreshing hours of the early morning from three premium wine regions.
in the cellar : The grapes did not receive any skin contact and were gently pressed. Fermentation lasted almost 3 weeks at 12° C with 5% of the wine having been fermented in new French oak barrels for 3 weeks. Then it was left on primary lees for 6 weeks post fermentation.
