ageing : This wine will benefit from upto 5 years of cellaring.

in the vineyard : Semillon is grown at the foot of Paarl Mountain. The vintage was very warm and the grapes ripe. The wine is big, bold and extremely satisfying.

about the harvest: Semillon was harvested ripe at 25 degrees balling.

in the cellar : Whole bunch pressed before being barrel fermented in new medium toast oak barrels. The lees are stirred every week, and the wine completed malolactic fermentation. After 7 months in barrel the wine was lightly filtered and bottled.
