Grapes are sourced from ideal vineyards around the Stellenbosch area. Eikendal has dedicated growers who work closely with our winemaker, Nico Grobler, to ensure optimal quality and varietal excellence.

in the vineyard : Vineyards are mostly planted east-west and are 160m above sea level. All vineyards are trellised in the VSP system, spur-pruned and under irrigation. Berry aromatic sequence module is used for determining ripeness.

about the harvest: Grapes are picked at optimal ripeness to ensure fruit intensity and good structure.

in the cellar : Fermentation takes place in stainless steel fermenters. Three pump-overs are done per day to ensure just enough extraction to enhance flavour and colour. Malolactic fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks. Matured for 12 months in 4500L oak barrels.
