in the vineyard : Mature established vineyards growing in Montagu, on limestone Karoo soils, hand pruned, yielding 7 tons per hectare.

about the harvest: Hand picked early morning on 18 March 2012, at a sugar level of 28°B.

in the cellar : The grapes are lightly crushed, destalked and left on the skins for natural enzymatic fermentation. After 3 days of fermentation approximately 5% of natural alcohol was formed. The fermentation was then arrested with the addition of neutral grape spirit. This approach helps to express the beautiful grape flavour of Muscat de Frontignan. The wine was then stored in a stainless steel tank for the grape flavours and spirits to integrate prior to bottling.
