in the vineyard : 'Hiervandaan' (meaning 'from this place') is a word with special significance in the colonial history of the Cape. It was used by early European settlers to define their new identity: 'Ons is hiervandaan, ons is Afrikaners.' ('We are from this place, we are Africans.')

about the harvest: Part of the skins (12% of the total blend) was desiccated on the vine to concentrate colour and flavour. Only the skins of the Viognier were used. The red components were then added and fermented on the Viognier skins. The combined product was pressed after fermentation.

in the cellar : Matured for 14 months in French oak. Regularly stirred in the barrels.
