Production Details The 2025 vintage marked the first year that Beau Constantia's interplanted Echalas Semillon clearly asserted itself in Pierre. Harvest took place over three pickings between February 24 and March 5, 2025. The first picking from clone SB10 was cold-soaked on skins for 3 days, then spontaneously fermented and left on skins for a further 7 days before transfer to two new 225L barriques, one French and one Austrian, making up 14% of the blend. The second picking, eight days later, included Semillon GD1 and Sauvignon Blanc clones 10 and 11. After a 3-hour skin soak, that fruit was pressed to a porcelain pot (29%), five seasoned Chardonnay barrels (36%), and four Austrian oak barrels, two new and two old (21%). All components matured on gross lees for 8 months before bottling.

Production Details Pierre 2024 came from 5 blocks in Constantia on steep slopes rising to 360 m above sea level. The first 20% of the blend came from clone SB10 on rocky terrain, cold-soaked on skins for 4 days, naturally fermented, then pressed after another 9 days on skins to one new and one second-fill French oak barrique. A second picking ten days later delivered Semillon GD1 and Sauvignon Blanc clones 10 and 11; after an 18-hour skin soak, those berries were pressed to two clay amphorae, one porcelain and one terracotta, for co-fermentation, making up 59% of the blend. The final 21% came from the highest Sauvignon Blanc block on the property, was whole-bunch pressed, and sent to two new barriques, one French and one Austrian.
