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: Slow ripening conditions resulted in a later than usual start to the 2008 harvest. The cool and wet conditions duringthe 2007 winter period resulted in small berries with concentrated flavours. Slow ripening ensured slow sugar and phenolic development, creating high expectations of the 2008 harvest.

Harvest date: First half of February
in the cellar : 
Specially chosen Pinotage grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness. They were crushed and destalked and then the juice was fermented on skins. The wine was racked off to staves before completion of alcoholic fermentation. After malolactic fermentation the wine was then further matured for 3 months before being blended and bottled.
 
Bottling date: 08 July 2008
