in the vineyard :

South Africa's vineyards are mostly situated in the Western Cape near the coast. This is the southernmost region of the African continent, and has a Mediterranean type climate and diverse soils perfectly suited to quality grape production.

Climate:A mild spring and early summer combined with low disease pressure set the stage for a promising season and resulted in healthy grape vines. The ripening period was characterised by intermittent periods of warm and cool weather. Despite a challenging season for viticulturists and winemakers alike, characteristic wines showing typical varietal and seasonal expression were crafted, showing superior balance and vibrant fruit.

about the harvest: Harvest date: Middle of February to end of March.

in the cellar : Grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness. After destemming, the grapes were cold soaked for 4 days to extract more fruit and enhance colour. After this period the wine was inoculated with specially selected yeast strains and fermented for 7 days until dry. Free run juice was racked to barrel where it underwent malolatic fermentation. The wine was then racked from the lees and returned to the barrel for maturation.
