Production Details The Sauvignon Blanc vines were planted in 1997 on a southeast facing slope in lime rich red Karoo soil. The grapes were harvested by machine between 02:00 am and 10:00 am in two-stage harvests. In the cellar, skin contact was given for a couple of hours, only free-run juice was used, fermentation was controlled at 12°C, and the wine spent another three months on fine lees.
