Vineyard
The grapes used for this wine are harvested from 5-17 year old trellised and 38 year old bush vine from the Bottelary Hills.
Vinification
Natural settling and extremely low fermentation temperatures (10-12 degrees Celsius) with 5 different commercial yeast strains are essential to preserving the beautiful flavours this Queen of the Grapes can offer. Lower average temperatures caused slower ripening of the grapes. This in turn, led to richer wines at lower alcohol levels with great fruit concentration.
