in the vineyard : 

Signal Gun, a family run winery, is situated in the Durbanville region. As the shot of the Signal Gun echoes through the vineyards of our picturesque farm it signals the start of a new generation of wine making. We pride ourselves in making small quantities of fine wine from our carefully selected grapes.

Be assured that the tasteful memories of our wines will keep on echoing.
about the harvest: Fair winter conditions which resulted in an average yield. Picked from 3 vineyard blocks.
in the cellar : Used open fermenters, pre-soaked for 2 days where the juice started to ferment on its own. Commercial yeast was added later on. Lightly punched 3 times a day and left on skins for 3 weeks, lightly pressed before moved to barrels. Wood matured for 12 months in a mix of 80% French and 20% American oak of which 30% was new.
