about the harvest:

Despite good rainfall, the region was still affected by the preceding drought and realised a much smaller crop for the second year in a row. The start of the harvest was more normal, and the early cultivars ripened well. The late cultivars ripened more unevenly and later than normal. The quality of the wines so far looks really good.

in the cellar : Grapes were picked at optimum ripeness. Made in open fermenters on the skins for 5-8 days at an average temp. of 27°C. Punching of the cap
was done every 2 hours to extract good colour and flavours from the grapes. After malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine aged in 100% new French oak for 22 months. The Faith blend is a barrel selection of the best wines from the 2021 vintage in the Beyerskloof cellar.
