in the vineyard : The grapes were harvested from the Paarl and Swartland region. The soil types are mostly Malmesbury Shales and Glenrosa which are well suited for vineyards in dryland conditions. Very little irrigation is given in the vineyards and they need to survive mostly on natural rainfall. The berries are small due to the lack of water and give concentrated ripe fruit flavours.

in the cellar : The grapes were harvested in the early morning. Grapes were de-stemmed and cold maceration was given for two days to extract maximum flavour and colour from the skins. Fermentation was done in stainless steel tanks with regular pump overs for seven days. During malolactic fermentation, French oak staves were added to help with the complexity of the wine. The wine was aged on the wood for eight months.
