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: A wet winter and dry, hot summer resulted in ideal conditions for a great yield. The Sea Smoke vineyard is a single vineyard block which is 455 m above sea level and the highest in the Durbanville area. Relatively low yield and lots of cool mist in the evenings (Sea Smoke) results in a long, evenly ripening process.

in the cellar : Reductive wine making, 8 hours skin contact, lightly pressed and settled overnight. Clean juice underwent cold fermentation and leas contact until bottled.
