Private Collection is an ultra-premium ensemble of five single varietal wines and a blend, produced from top-performing vineyards, and exclusive to travel retail. Our viticultural and winemaking teams work jointly to identify fruit in each vineyard for this luxury range. Hand-picked grapes that stand out for their fine balance of fruit, acid and sugar, for their exceptional concentration and depth of aromas are reserved for Private Collection wines.

Available: Travel retail exclusive
in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from vineyards in the Western Cape. Planted between 1990 and 1998, the vines grow in decomposed granite, Kroonstad and Swartland soils, and are situated on south to south-westerly facing slopes, some 80m to 150m above sea level. Grafted onto nematode-resistant rootstocks Richter 99, 110 and 101-114, the vines receive supplementary irrigation from an overhead sprinkler system. Yields averaged between 8 and 10 tons per hectare.
in the cellar : 

The grapes were harvested by hand and machine at 23º to 24,5º Balling from the end of January to mid-February. They were crushed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks at 25ºC to 28ºC for approximately two weeks. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was matured in contact with American and French oak for a period of 14 months.
