in the vineyard : The Viognier grapes are sourced from The Hughes Family farm, Kasteelsig Vineyards, in Malmesbury and the Chenin from neighbours in the Swartland.

about the harvest: The grapes were hand picked into small baskets.

in the cellar : The grapes were taken to Rhebokskloof cellar in Agter-Paarl where we fermented and matured the wine in 2nd fill, small oak barrels for 9 months. The Chenin spent as many months in tank before being blended with the Viognier at the time of bottling in December 2010. Our aim was to create a wine with a harmonious palate and a good finish to partner a wide range of dishes.
