Vineyard
Grapes are sourced from Fairtrade vineyards predominantly in the Swartland region. These vineyards are trellised and grow on sandy loam soils. The vineyards are meticulously farmed and yields are managed down to below 6 tons per hectare.
Vinification
Grapes are handpicked very early in the morning allowing grapes to retain their fruitiness and flavor. Cool crushed grapes underwent a three hour skin contact in static drainers before being fermented under controlled conditions at 13°C.
