in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from trellised vineyards in the Paarl and Darling areas. The vines, situated some 50m to 100m 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 grapes were harvested by hand at 24º to 30º Balling between March and April. The fruit was crushed, and then left on the skins for a few hours followed by gentle pressing 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.
