in the vineyard : The vines for this wine are found In the Tygerberg Hills and In Stellenbosch. Both sites are close to the Atlantic Ocean, benefitting from the cool winds cooling down the areas. Vines are a mixture of Dryland and Drip Irrigation supplemented vineyards.

about the harvest: Grapes were hand-harvested between 22.5° and 23.5° Balling.

in the cellar : The grapes were cooled down at the cellar before crushing. Skin contact was allowed for 4 hours at ±10°C. Only free-run juice drained by
gravity was used for fermentation, 60% of which fermented in stainless-steel tanks and 40% in older French-oak barrels. Thereafter, the wine spent 8 months on the lees. The oak component was blended with the stainless-steel fermented wine prior to bottling.
