in the vineyard :

The Shiraz vines, from which the grapes for this wine were harvested, were planted in 2001 and grow on the ocean-facing slopes of the Estate
where the cool air from False Bay cools the vineyards during the summer days. Soils are decomposed granite and Table Mountain sandstone.

about the harvest:

The grapes were harvested at 25˚ Balling during late March.

in the cellar :

After being de-stemmed and crushed, the mash was inoculated with a selected pure yeast strain for fermentation. Fermentation started in rotation tanks between 27˚C to 29˚C. The must remained on the skins for approximately 7 to 10 days during fermentation, after which the wine was drained, and the skins were pressed. It was then transferred directly into barrels to undergo malolactic fermentation, before being gently racked and returned for further ageing. The wine matured in barrel for 13 months in a composition of French (85%) and American (15%) oak 300L barrels.
