in the vineyard : Sourced from north and north-westerly vineyards at Vergelegen, where soil types of granite, Hutton and weathered shale dominate.
about the harvest: Wine lovers from all over the world can look forward to excellent wines from a much cooler and smaller 2023 harvest. A cooler ripening period ensured high quality wine with early cultivars. Late cultivars have been more challenging due the rains and cold conditions, but good management practices and exceptional site produce high quality grapes.
in the cellar : Grapes from various vineyards were hand-picked, sorted, and fermented in stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts. After fermentation, extended skin contact and malolactic fermentation took place in steel tanks before the wine was matured for 12 months in 15% new French oak. It was then blended and bottled.
