in the vineyard : Grapes from premium vineyards situated in the Agter-Paarl area, supplemented by vineyards in the cooler Stellenbosch and Phisantekraal (Durbanville) areas. The grapes were regularly tasted to ensure optimum flavours at harvest.
Grape source: Cool climate vineyards of the Western Cape (Agter-Paarl 55%, Stellenbosch 30%, Durbanville 15%)

Vintage conditions: The 2011 vintage in the Agter-Paarl region was a dry vintage, with virtually no rain throughout the growing season. Strong winds in November 2010 led to a smaller crop than average, and early heat in January 2011 caused faster ripening for a very early harvest. Overall the whites were very aromatic and showed typical varietal characteristics.

in the cellar : After pressing and settling, the must was inoculated and fermented over 21 days in stainless steel tanks at ±13° centigrade. 10% Semillon was blended with the Sauvignon Blanc to add longetivy and mouthfeel to the wine. The wine was fined and filtered before bottling.
