in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from vineyards in the Helderberg, Bottelary and Agter Paarl areas, situated at altitudes ranging from 50 m to 180 m above sea level. The vines are predominantly trellised with a quarter of the vineyards grown as bush vines, and vary in age between 6 and 10 years.
in the cellar : This wine was made in a medium to full-bodied style for early enjoyment. It was fermented for four days on the skins to preserve as much fruit as possible and extract enough color without extracting the full-bodied tannins. The wine was matured on French oak staves for 9 months to add a bit of spice and complexity.
