in the vineyard : As its name suggests, the African Sky label carries a range of wines made in the vineyards of the Cape's famous winelands, graced by tall mountains and fanned by cooling maritime breezes, where the sky constantly changes to reflect a range of micro-climates. Soemtimes shrouded in mist or stained by rain, sometimes bracingly clear, the sky is always fresh, clean and nurturing.

The Chenin Blanc grapes were sourced from vineyards in the Perdeberg/Wellington area, planted between 1970 and 1988, some 130m to 180m above sea level.

in the cellar : The juice was given brief skin contact before being fermented at 14ÂșC for 14 days to allow for maximum fruit concentration.
