in the vineyard : Grapes were sourced from vineyards in the Durbanville, Philadelphia, Paarl and Slanghoek areas. The grapes grow in Clovelly soil and decomposed granite at between 60 m and 120 m above sea level. The vineyards were planted between 1980 and 1998. Grafted onto nematode resistant rootstock Richter 99 and 101 – 14, the vines, yielding an average of 8 to 10 tons per hectare, received supplementary irrigation from a micro irrigation system while some vineyards grow under dryland conditions.
about the harvest: The grapes were harvested by hand and machine at between 22° and 24° Balling from February to mid-March.
in the cellar : They were crushed and then cool-fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for two to three weeks at 13° C. The Chardonnay was fermented in stainless steel tanks on staves. No skin contact was allowed and only the free-run juice was used. The wine was left on the lees for just over three months until blending.
