in the vineyard :

The Shiraz vines, from which the grapes for this wine were harvested, were planted in 2001 and grow on the ocean-facing slopes of the Estate
where the cool air from False Bay cools the vineyards during the summer days. Soils are decomposed granite and Table Mountain sandstone.

about the harvest:

Healthy grape bunches were picked late March to early April at optimum ripeness of 25°.

in the cellar :

The fruit was crushed and fermented on the skins in rotation tanks for seven days at an average temperature of 28°C, using a selected, pure yeast culture. After completion of malolactic fermentation, the wine was matured in a combination of 85% French and 15% American oak barrels for a period of 6 months. First bottling took place on August 2023. A total of 10 100 bottles.
