in the vineyard : Seven to eight year-old trellised vines planted on eastern slopes in the Western Cape yielded the grapes for this wine. The vineyards received supplementary drip irrigation and produced 9 tons per hectare.

about the harvest: Grapes were harvested at 24.5° Balling, gently crushed, de-stemmed and cooled for fermentation. After 2 days of cold soaking the juice fermented until dry in stainless steel tanks at 24°C. Three pump-overs were conducted daily, and 60% of the wine matured in French oak barrels for 6-8 months.
