in the vineyard : Mainly sourced from the Elgin region, with a small percentage sourced from the slightly warmer Paarl region.

about the harvest: Bunches are hand-harvested. The year’s unique weather promises a standout 2024 vintage, showcasing vine resilience and winemaking skill.
With over 950 mm of winter rainfall on the Helderberg Mountain - well above the usual 650 mm - the vines benefited from a rejuvenating dormancy, setting the stage for a strong growing season

in the cellar : At the cellar, the bunches are destemmed and pressed into a settling tank overnight. The clear juice is racked off the following day to the fermentation tank, where it cold ferments for approximately 26 days. After fermentation, the wine is racked off the lees to preserve the fruit profile of the wine.

Maturation: 100% stainless steel vessels, aged for 2 months on the fine lees before racking
