Production Details All grapes were hand-harvested in the cool of the early morning to preserve freshness. Fermentation was split between traditional open-top fermenters and stainless-steel tanks, with a mix of punch-downs and pump-overs applied during the early stages of fermentation to gently extract colour, flavour, and fine tannins without harshness. Once alcoholic fermentation was complete, the wine was carefully drained from the skins by gravity, maintaining purity and vibrancy before undergoing malolactic fermentation in stainless steel. Maturation followed in 300L French oak barrels (second- and third-fill) for 12 months, adding subtle complexity while keeping the fruit character at the fore.

Production Details The grapes for this wine were sourced from selected parcels of fruit from across the Coastal region, predominantly from Stellenbosch, and selected vineyards from Durbanville and the Swartland also incorporated into the blend. The run-up to the season was characterized by a warm and dry winter and spring, resulting in drier than usual soil conditions at the onset of the growing season. As such, bud break and harvest was around 10 days earlier than previous vintages. Some unseasonal rains in March meant the viticultural team had to manage picking dates very carefully to ensure healthy fruit at the correct sugar levels arrived at the winery. All grapes were harvested early in the morning. Half of the wine was fermented in traditional open-top fermenters and the rest in stainless steel tanks. A combination of punch-downs and pump-overs were used to extract as much colour and tannin as possible during the first two-thirds of fermentation. This practice ensures that only fine, delicate tannins are extracted without any excessive astringency. After complete alcoholic fermentation, the wine was separated from the skins using gravity to preserve freshness and flavour in the wine and went through malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine was aged in 2nd and 3rd fill 300L French oak barrels for 12 months.
