in the vineyard : This is a family dream that started to materialise in 2009. My wife and I are both winemakers and it was time to create a wine that reflects our life in wine. Our mission was to produce "one of a kind blends" that brings the different elements of the varietals together. Agaat was born and with that a tribute to my grandmother, Christina, a lady of stature and grace.

in the cellar : The grapes were harvested, de-stemmed, crushed and vinified separately. The wine was handled reductively with skin contact for 6 hours, pressed and settled for 24 hours. Ther after it was racked and innoculated with specially selected wine yeast. The fermentation temperature was cloesly monitored to ensure that the best characteristics of each variety evolved during this important stage of wine making.

Post fermentation the wine was kept on the fine lees for 3 months to create concentration on the mid palette with a well balanced finish.
