The natural environment, in particular, soil, topography and climate, influence the flavour and quality of grapes. It is this sense of place that imparts a wine with its characteristic taste and flavour.

Our winemaking team continually strive to increase this expression of place during growing and winemaking – in order to craft characterful wines – a process we describe as 'dancing with stones'.

in the vineyard : Grapes are sourced from Fairtrade certified vineyards predominantly in the Swartland region. These vineyards are trellised and grow on red Hutton soils.

about the harvest: Grapes were handpicked.

in the cellar : Grapes were cold soaked for 24 hours. Fermentation is initiated with selected yeast strains and is kept under 26°C. Malolactic fermentation is completed in tank, 80% of the wine is matured for 12 months in 6 year old 225L barrels and 20% in new 225L French and American oak barrels.
