The fruit was sourced from 35 specially selected grape growing families in the Western Cape. These vines are grown in deep cool alluvial soils that are rich in lime and receives an annual rainfall of only 280 mm per year. The sea breeze cools down the fruit, extends the ripening period and builds up concentrated flavours in the grapes. The average annual rainfall is supplemented by controlled drip irrigation from our dams and rivers.

Grapes were harvested between 21 ̊ - 22 ̊B from a selection of vineyards. Gentle pressing followed by using a Pneumatic bag press to capture the delicate fruit component. The wine was made reductively to prevent any oxidation and to ensure that natural flavours of the grapes could be retained. Fermentation happened slowly in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks for 18 days at 13 ̊C.
