in the vineyard : The 2012 conditions produced crops of notable quality. The cool harvest period and slow ripening of grapes resulted in smaller berries with intense colour, exceptional flavours and structure.

about the harvest: The grapes were handpicked in the early hours of the morning from selected vineyards on the Helshoogte Mountain.

in the cellar : The grapes received four hours of skin contact to acquire the perfect colour. Grapes were gently pressed, fermented for nearly 3 weeks at 12?C and then left on primary lees for 6 weeks post fermentation. The wine is made in the same style as Sauvignon Blanc to maintain the lovely fresh fruit characters.
