in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from vineyards in the Durbanville and Darling areas. The vines, planted between 1985 and 1995 at altitudes of 50m to 150m above sea level, are grown in decomposed granite on slopes suiting the cultivar. Grafted onto nematode-resistant rootstock Richter 99, R110 and 101-114, the vines are grown under dryland conditions and receive supplementary irrigation from an overhead sprinkler system.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested by hand at 18° to 19° Balling during mid-February.

in the cellar : The fruit was crushed and then cool-fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for a period of two to three weeks at 13° C before being left on the skins for a day.
