in the vineyard : The grapes were harvested from the Paarl, Darling and Stellenbosch regions. The soil is mostly decomposed granite and sandstone that is well suited for vineyards in dryland conditions. Little to no irrigation is given in the vineyard, relying only on natural rainfall. The berries are small due to the lack of water and give concentrated fruit flavours.

about the harvest: The 2024 harvest started two weeks earlier than the previous year. However, unforeseen winds during late November and early December resulted in a reduced yield. Despite this, the anticipated quality remains exceptional. Elevated temperatures in early February necessitated an early grape harvest by the team.

in the cellar : The grapes were picked early in the morning by hand. After receiving the grapes, it was destemmed and three hours of skin contact was given. The juice was cleaned using flotation before fermentation. Great care was taken that only clear juice was used for the fermentation. The wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks for 15 days at a cold temperature and a selected yeast was added to achieve the fruity style. The wine was aged on the lees for three months before bottling.
