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 mid-February at 22.3 °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 for 18 to 20 days at 14°C. Following the completion of the fermentations, the wines were racked, blended and bottled. The first bottling was on 3 April 2023. A total of 13 500 bottles.
