in the vineyard : As its name suggests, the African Sky label carries a range of wines made in the vineyards of the Cape's famous winelands, graced by tall mountains and fanned by cooling maritime breezes, where the sky constantly changes to reflect a range of micro-climates. Soemtimes shrouded in mist or stained by rain, sometimes bracingly clear, the sky is always fresh, clean and nurturing.
about the harvest: The grapes were picked between 22º and 23º Balling.

in the cellar : Each block of each varietal was individually vinified and fermented on the skins for five days and then until dry. After malolactic fermentation the blend was composed and the wine matured in small French oak for nine months.
