Vineyard
Grapes are sourced from vineyards in the Piekenierskloof region. The grapes are bush vine vineyards and grow on sandy loam soils. The vines are farmed meticulously and the yield between 5 and 8 ton per hectare. Harvesting took place from middle to end of February.
Vinification
Grapes were handpicked very early in the morning allowing the fruit to retain their natural flavor. Only the free run juice was used, allowed to settle, and inoculated with selected yeast strain, fermenting under controlled conditions at 14°C
