Production Details Crafted from single heritage-certified block planted in 1980. Old vine vineyard (40+ years) called 'The Gallery' on Knorhoek Farm. Vineyard divided into sections harvested individually for separate vinification contributing to complexity. Grapes gently pressed and settled overnight. Regular battonage during fermentation builds texture and volume. Aged 10 months in mixed vessels before blending, then 6 months in bottle.
