in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from vineyards in Paarl area. The vines, situated some 120m to 160m above sea level and planted between 1984 and 1993, are grown in Tukulu and Oakleaf soils. Grafted onto nematode-resistant rootstock Richter 99, the vines received supplementary irrigation by means of an overhead sprinkler system.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested by hand at 45° Balling in May.

in the cellar : The fruit was crushed and then cool-fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for a period of six weeks at 18°C. The wine did not undergo malolactic fermentation, but instead was put through a separator to prevent fermentation once the desired residual sugar level had been reached.
