in the vineyard : The Vineyards (Viticulturist: Annelie Viljoen)
Grapes for the Chardonnay were sourced from vineyards in the Worcester, Stellenbosch, Robertson and Paarl regions. Made in fruit-driven style to express clearly the varietals, deciduous and citrus fl avours, the wine is enhanced by wood fermentation and ageing.

about the harvest: Grapes were harvested between 22° and 24° Balling in mid-February. They were picked on taste when showing green fig flavours.

in the cellar : Each vineyard was individually vinified, some fermented with oak while the balance was tank-fermented and left on the lees for four months to ensure a concentration of flavours and creaminess on palate.
