in the vineyard : Mainly sourced from the Elgin region, with a small percentage sourced from the slightly warmer Paarl region.
 
Ideal weather and a slightly later harvest in 2025 set the stage for a standout vintage across the Helderberg region. Mild summer conditions, cool evenings, and extended hang time contributed to excellent flavour development, balanced acidity, and refined tannins - hallmarks of a season that reflects both vineyard resilience and winemaking precision.

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 : Bunches are hand-harvested. 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.
