Production Details Grapes are handpicked into small lug boxes and transported to the cellar in refrigerated trucks to preserve their quality and freshness. To guarantee that only the highest quality grapes were used in the winemaking process, every component was sorted using an optic sorting machine. Stainless steel and Italian concrete tanks were used for the primary fermentation. Gentle winemaking processes were used with minimal intervention to preserve the essence of the Riebeeksrivie terroir. After fermentation, the wine was transferred to a barrel for malolactic fermentation, then matured for 10 to 12 months in 225 litre French oak wood barriques.
