Production Details Sourced from 2 vineyards in the Stellenbosch area, each block selected for the unique diversity in flavour it brings to the wine, influenced by different soil types, planting material, row direction and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. Grapes are harvested by hand only. Partial whole bunch pressing and static settling overnight obtained clear juice for fermentation. Different yeast strains and fermentation temperatures were selected to obtain fruit while highlighting the specific growing conditions of the vintage. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine spent 7 months on the lees in tank with regular stirring before filtration and bottling.
