ageing : Wine suitable for early drinking

in the vineyard : Soil: Duplex with some clay - Kroonstad

We chose only the balanced Merlot from our very finest soils, influenced by the cool S/E wind during the ripening season.

about the harvest: Yield: 8 tons per hectare
Hand harvested in individual parcels and selected for quality to get the ripest possible grapes

in the cellar : The wine was matured in selected French oak barrels for 12 months and blended with a small fraction of Cabernet Franc for structure and complexity prior to bottling.
