in the vineyard : (Viticulturist: Bennie Liebenberg)
Grapes were sourced from vineyards in Stellenbosch, Paarl, Robertson and Durbanville which ranged in age between 10 to 18 years, grown in varying soils from decomposed granite to deep Clovelly and Hutton. Located at altitudes between 110m to 410m, the trellised vineyards face south-east to south-west and are thus ideally positioned to take advantage of prevailing sea-breezes.
However, appropriate canopy management and row orientation minimises wind damage.

about the harvest:

Winemaking (cellar master: Michael Bucholz)
To give the wine an appealing array of flavours, grapes were picked between 20° and 24° Balling from late January.

in the cellar : After crushing, the juice received no skin contact and was cold-fermented between 13⁰C and 15⁰C for a period of two weeks to preserve a zesty freshness of flavour.
