Vintage
The 2012 vintage will be recorded as one of the most memorable of the recent past. Above average yields of superb quality excited growers and winemakers alike. After an exemplary winter with enough cold weather and sufficient rain, bud break commenced at the end of August.

Bud break was very even and due to the absence of strong winds initial growth was good. The favourable weather continued through to December, which was very positive for the flowering period. Warm conditions came early in January, but did not affect the quality or quantity of the grapes. Excellent weather during harvest ensured that absolute healthy grapes of outstanding quality could be delivered at the winery.

about the harvest: Fruit was harvested very early in the morning from the last week of February to the middle of March from 35 specially selected grape growers in the Robertson Valley.

The wine was harvested at optimum flavour from a selection of vineyards.

in the cellar : Keeping the fruit separate throughout fermentation, wines were produced with varying flavours and palate weight allowing a diverse choice when it came to blending. The wine was made reductively to prevent any oxidation and to ensure that natural flavours of the grapes could be retained.

Oak Maturation: Nil
Fermentation Temp: 14° - 15°C
