These classically styled, food-friendly wines with refreshing fruit flavours, elegance and finesse, treasure the integrity of our grapes in every step of the wine-growing and winemaking journey.

in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from trellised vineyards in the Paarl and Darling areas. The vines, situated some 50 m to 100 m above sea level and planted between 1984 and 1988, are grown in Clovelly, Hutton and Glenrosa soils. Grafted onto nematode-resistant rootstock Richter 99, they received supplementary irrigation from a micro-irrigation system.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested by hand at 24º to 30º Balling between March and April.

in the cellar : The fruit was crushed and gently press to extract excellent quality juice. After clarification the juice was fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 16ºC for three weeks. The fermenting wine was put through a centrifuge separator to stop fermentation once the desired sugar and alcohol levels were reached.
