in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced primarily from Stellenbosch, however, also sourced from Darling, Durbanville, Elgin, Elim and Koekenaap on the West Coast. The common denominator was that all vineyards are found within 15km from the ocean and thus the cooling sea breezes and deep red soils resulted in moderate growth which in turn provided a good canopy development for optimal grape ripening conditions. The 2022 vintage will be remembered for the very late start and very cool growing conditions. This was perfect for our Sauvignon blanc vineyards.

in the cellar : All the vineyard parcels were harvested at optimum ripeness and vinified separately. The grapes were only picked in the early morning to ensure they arrived at the cellar in optimum condition and all efforts were made to limit their exposure to oxygen. All the grapes were given 12 to 36 hours extended skin contact before only the free-run juice was transferred to stainless steel tanks for fermentation. The wines were fermented at low temperatures with selected yeast strains to highlight each vineyard’s specific characteristic. After fermentation the wine was left for a further four months in contact with the lees before selecting the wines for the final blend.
