in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from only two vineyards, the one located on the gravelly hills near Ashton, and the other on red Karoo soils near McGregor. Careful canopy management and irrigation were used to control the vigour and to ensure optimum canopy efficiency. This also optimized the microclimate within the vineyard, providing the ideal conditions for the varietal to flourish.
about the harvest: The grapes were harvested at 24.5° Balling from both vineyards in the beginning of March.
Yield (tons/ha): 10 tons
in the cellar : Fermentation took place in tanks and barrel to allow for maximum wood extraction. No malolatic fermentation took place but the wine was left on its lees for 3 months, with batonnage executed every two weeks for the first two months to give the wine richness and complexity.
