in the vineyard :

Age of vines: 15-19 years old

about the harvest: Despite good rainfall, the region was still affected by the preceding drought and realised a much smaller crop for the second year in a row. The start of the harvest was more normal and the early cultivars ripened well. The late cultivars ripened more uneven and later. The quality of the wines so far looks really good.

in the cellar : The Pinotage grapes were picked at an early stage to ensure an abundance of sweet red berries aromas. After crushing the grapes, the juice was immediately drained and separated from the skins to give the wine its white colour. The juice fermented for 20 days at 11.0°C. After fermentation a fuller bodied and more structured Chenin Blanc was sourced from the Swartland region and blended with the Pinotage.
