in the vineyard : A blend of predominantly Sauvignon Blanc with small portions of Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Colombar and Semillon. Vines were pruned to two-bud spurs during July and August. Shoots were removed during October, leaving only two to three per hand-spaced spur. As yields were naturally low, no bunch removal was necessary.

about the harvest: Grapes were hand-picked and, where vineyard spacing allowed, by harvesting machine.

in the cellar : After light pressing, the grapes were cold-fermented in stainless steel tanks at an average temperature of 14°C, which allowed the fresh, natural grape flavours to be captured in the wine.
