in the vineyard : Grapes for the wine were sourced from trellised and bush vines in the Darling, Elgin and Stellenbosch areas situated at an altitude of 100-500m above sea-level. Established mainly in deep red soils with some sand loam they are mainly southerly facing vineyards.
about the harvest: The grapes were hand-harvested in February between 20,6°Balling and 26,7° Balling to offer a spectrum of ripeness from green and grassy flavours to the fuller, more tropical tastes.
