AWARDS

in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from bush vines in the Darling, Durbanville and Paarl areas. The vines, ranging in age from 9 to 13 years, are situated on mostly south to south-westerly facing slopes. Grafted onto phylloxera-resistant rootstock Richter 99 and 101, the vines were grown under dryland conditions and yielded an average of 6 to 8 tons per hectare.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested at 22° to 23° Balling during February and March.

in the cellar : Following settling, the clean juice was racked and inoculated to ferment in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 13°C for a period of two to three weeks. The riper fruit was fermented in second- and third-fill 300- and 500-litre French oak barrels where it spent eight months. It was regularly stirred on the lees to enhance texture and flavour.
