about the harvest: Grapes picked at optimum ripeness, selected prior to harvest from premium vineyards from the Stellenbosch region at 24° - 26° Balling.

in the cellar : After harvesting the grapes were cold soaked for 2 days prior to primary fermentation. Fermented until dry at 24° - 27° C, extraction of colour and varietal aromas by means of pumpover and delastage in static red fermenters. Malolactic fermentation and maturation takes place in stainless steel tank with 2g/lt of selected medium toast French oak staves for approximately 8 months. The cold soaking period as well as a slower yeast strain used during primary fermentation results in a well balanced wine with beautiful varietal characters and good finish.
