in the vineyard : Grapes are sourced from the cool climate vineyards near Koekenaap in the Lutzville Valley.

about the harvest: Grapes for this Shiraz come from selected vineyard blocks in the Lutzville Valley.
Yield: 12 - 15 tonnes / ha.

in the cellar : Once the grapes arrive at the winery, the fruit is gently pressed and only the free run juice is used. The Shiraz juice is blended together with Colombard (for fruitiness) and Hannepoot (Muscat d'Alexandria for sweetness). After fermentation, the wine rests in stainless steel tanks for 3 - 6 months before being bottled.
