The VredeenLust Artisan range is an exclusive range of carefully handcrafted wines. For this range the winemakers are encouraged to experiment with different styles and winemaking techniques using small batches of site specific grapes.

in the vineyard : The first Shiraz crop from Elgin vineyards was harvested in 2010, which was a 5-barrel run under the Artisan range.

about the harvest: The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness.

in the cellar : The grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness and fermented in stainless steel tanks. Juice were fermented in smaller tanks, with a combination of pump-overs and pump-downs. Malolactic fermentation took place in the tank. Maturation was in oak barrels - 10 to 15% new and the rest third-fill and forth-fill barrels.
