in the vineyard : The grapes were picked from a number of vineyards on the slopes of the Simonsberg, and other areas in Stellenbosch. Soils typically tend to be derived from decomposed granite and so-called Table Mountain sandstone.

Vineyard Management
All the vineyards were pruned to two-bud spurs during July - August and shoots were removed during October. Only two to three shoots were left per hand-spaced spur. After veraison, uneven bunches were removed for better flavour concentration.
about the harvest: The grapes were picked by hand and carefully transported to the cellar in bins containing 400kg of grapes.
in the cellar : After six days fermentation in steel tanks, the grapes were carefully pressed to ensure extraction of soft tannins. After fermentation, the wine was matured in a combination of French oak staves in stainless steel tank and 4th fill oak hogsheads before blending and bottling.
