in the vineyard : Planted in 2008 in decomposed granite and Table Mountain sandstone. The vines are vertically trellised on VSP systems. The south-west and north-east facing vineyards are exposed to the cooling effect of False Bay breezes which protract ripening and make for more concentrated intensity of flavour.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested early March at between 23.8 °Balling.

in the cellar : After crushing and clarification by flotation, the juice was inoculated with selected dry yeasts and cool-fermented in temperature- controlled stainless-steel tanks at 13-14°C. Following the completion of the fermentations, the wines were racked, blended and bottled. The first bottling was on 16 May 2022. A total of 13 771 bottles.
