The Dry Land Collection Wines are made from grapes of dry land vineyards, which showcase the uniqueness of the wines grown in this testing terroir. The wine is made in a new world style, complex with ample fruit and structure.

in the vineyard : The grapes were harvested from two 14- and 27-year old vineyard blocks in the Paarl area. Harvesting took place in February at a minimum of 25°
Balling in the early morning when it was still cool. The soils, a combination of decomposed granite and Malmesbury shales, are deep and strong in structure. These vineyard blocks used little to no irrigation as they primarily relied on winter rainfall.

about the harvest: The 2021 vintage was later than normal with grapes picked two weeks later. The growing season was cool with good conditions and low disease risk. The harvest period was also cooler than normal with no heat waves and some rainy days during harvest. The vintage was good in terms of quality and the wines show good ageing potential.

Harvesting took place in February at a minimum of 25° Balling in the early morning when it was still cool.

in the cellar : After the grapes were de-stemmed, the berries were sorted and cold maceration was given for two days. The wine was fermented in stainless
steel tanks for five days with regular pump-overs. Made in a rich and complex wooded style, this wine was matured in 300-and-500 litre French oak barrels for eighteen months. A combination of new and old barrels were used, with about thirty percent of the barrels being new oak. Once bottled, the wine was aged a further twelve months.
