in the vineyard : Sourced from selected vineyards from Tygerberg Hills and Stellenbosch. The vines are a combination of dryland and drip irrigation-supplemented vineyards. Located less than one hour's drive from the Atlantic Ocean, the vineyards benefit from a cooling breeze that encourages slow ripening. The soil of the sites consist of decomposed granite and weathered shale.

about the harvest: The grapes were hand-harvested early in the morning.

in the cellar : The grapes were hand-harvested early in the morning and pre-cooled prior to hand-sorting, destemming and crushing with skin contact limited to four hours. The drained free-run juice was settled overnight before inoculation. Fermentation took place in 300 and 400-litre with 10% being completed in stainless steel tanks. The wine matured for 10 months in French oak barrels (10% new and 90% second and third fill).
