in the vineyard : Grown on the high, cooler south-facing slopes of the Klein Constantia vineyards at 250m above sea level. Atlantic and Indian Ocean sea breezes ensure ideal, slow ripening. Soils consist of decomposed Table Mountain granite and are not irrigated.
in the cellar : Fermentation was initiated in stainless steel tanks, and completed in French oak barrels. Spontaneous, full malolactic fermentation took place in barrel, after which the wine was matured in 500-litre Burgundian barrels (60%new) for 8 months.
