ageing : 

Ideal for drinking now, it will retain its vibrancy for 5 years.

in the vineyard : Planted in 2008 in decomposed granite and Table Mountain sandstone. The vines are vertically trellised on VSP systems. The south-west and north-east facing vineyards are exposed to the cooling effect of False Bay breezes which protract ripening and make for more concentrated intensity of flavour.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested from early to mid-February, bright and early in the morning hours while they were still cool (which helps concentrate the flavours and aromas) at 21.5° Balling.

in the cellar : After crushing and pressing, the free run juice was clarified by flotation, transferred to a fermentation tank, and inoculated with selected dry yeasts for a cool-fermentation of 18 to 20 days at 14°C. Following fermentation, the wines aged briefly before being racked, blended and prepared for bottling
