Production Details Grapes were sourced from an old vineyard in Darling in the Swartland area, as well as from Piekenierskloof. Grapes were harvested by hand in the early morning. The grapes were destemmed, and the whole berries were added on top of a bed of whole bunches. This 20% whole bunch contributes to the generous red berry aromas in the wine. Fermentation took place over 2 weeks with only 2 pump overs per day. Only the free-run wine was transferred to a combination of 3rd fill French oak barrels and terracotta amphorae for 8 months' maturation on the lees.
