in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from selected vineyards in the Walker Bay area.

about the harvest: Picked at optimal ripeness to ensure the freshness that Sauvignon is renowned for, these grapes were harvested at night.

in the cellar : Stored in a cool room until being sorted, crushed and pressed the following day. Some skin contact was done to enhance flavours. Lees rubbing of 4 days was done at 3°C to extract the delicate fruit flavours. The juice was racked and inoculated with yeast and cold fermented in tank until dry. The wine was aged on the lees for 2 months before racking and sulphuring to ensure a silky aftertaste. Another 2 months of lees aging was done prior to bottling.
