in the vineyard : Old hardy bush vines, surviving decades of formidable conditions, resulting in highly complex fruit; hence the name ‘Kanniedood’, meaning ‘cant die/diehard’ in Afrikaans. Yielding only 2.5 tons per hectare.

about the harvest: Hand harvested.

in the cellar : Sorted by hand and de-stemmed. Fruit undergoes fermentation in French and Hungarian oak; after fermentation the wine remains in barrels for a further 12 months for natural stabilization. Bâtonnage is carried out on a scheduled basis, to add complexity and a ‘buttery’ mouth feel.
