Grapes come from 23 year old vines grown in sandy Tukulu soils on the banks of the Franschhoek river.
Extremely low yielding at 4.5 tonnes/ha. Rickety Bridge Semillon grapes were hand harvested on 20 February 2009 at 23ºB into small crates.
Fermentation took place in the small French oak barrels, 20% new and 80% older barrels using a naturally occurring yeast. The must was fermented between 14° - 17˚ C and the lees was stirred up daily for three months and then twice every week for the next 7 months thereafter. Sulphur dioxide was added only after 9 months, just before bottling. Total Produced: 360 x 6
