AWARDS
2007 Vietnam International Wine Challenge - Best SA Red Wine
2007 Michelangelo International Wine Awards - Gold Medal
in the vineyard : South Africa's vineyards are mostly situated in the Western Cape near the coast .This is the southernmost region of the African continent, and has a Mediterranean type climate and diverse soils perfectly suited to quality grape production.
about the harvest: Severe warm weather experienced during January resulted in an earlier than usual start to the harvest... These conditions lasted well into the second week of February and lead to rapidly rising sugar levels. From February 8 temperatures declined and subsequently the sugars dropped and harvesting of white and red grapes slowed considerably. Due to the cooler conditions sugar levels increased very slowly whilst grape flavours developed noticeably. The ripening conditions were close to perfect for the tail-end of the crop.

Harvest date: First half of February
