in the vineyard : The 2010 conditions, as challenging as they were, resulted in healthy grapes with great flavor and analysis. Winemakers are more than satisfied with the quality of the grapes that were harvested, even though the yields were down.

about the harvest: The grapes where 100% hand picked in the refreshing hours of the early morning from three premium wine regions: 51% Olifantsrivier (West Coast), 42% Walker Bay and 7% Stellenbosch. This combination brings the unique flavours from each region in full harmony.

in the cellar : The grapes did not receive any skin contact and where gently pressed. Fermentation lasted almost 3 weeks at 12° C and then left on primary lees for 6 weeks post fermentation.
