in the vineyard : As the Valley lies less than 20 km from the False Bay coast, it is greatly affected by the cool south sea breezes, which prevail in the summer months. Winter brings on the moisture-laden northwest winds, which result in most of the Valleyâ€™s 750 mm of annual rainfall.
Soil: Deep red, Hutton, Clovelly soils
Trellising: Hedged (Perold system)

about the harvest: Hand selected grapes were harvested at 26.5Â°B.
Yield: 4 â€“ 6 tons / ha

in the cellar : Fermentation took place at 30Â°C with frequent pump-over until dry. After malolactic fermentation the wine had two rackings before it was matured in french oak barrels for 12 months.
