in the vineyard : Soil Type: Decomposed granite, Glenrosa and Malmesbury shales.

Average yield: 9 tonnes per hectare

Age of vines: 16 years

Irrigation: Combination of dryland (natural rainfall), and irrigated vineyards.

about the harvest: Vintage: The 2023 vintage was notably interesting, with an early start, a dry spring, and much-needed rainfall in early December. The growing season was cool, promoting good vineyard growth, and the harvest began 10 days earlier than in 2022 under favourable weather conditions.

Picking date: March 2023

Grape sugar: 23.8° Balling

in the cellar : Method: The grapes were harvested in the early morning. Grapes were de-stemmed and cold maceration was given for two days to extract    maximum flavour and colour from the skins. Fermentation was done in stainless steel tanks with regular pump overs for seven days. During malolactic fermentation, French and American oak staves were added to help with the complexity of the wine.

Wood maturation: The wine was aged with wood staves for eight months.
