Production Details The grapes are sourced from three parcels: 40% from Paardeberg bush vines planted in 1978 on decomposed granite, 30% from the Polkadraai hills of Stellenbosch planted in 1981 on granite, and 30% from Piekenierskloof planted in 1977 at 750m on sandstone-derived soils with rock fragments. The parcels were vinified separately before blending just before bottling. Grapes were destemmed, pressed, and left overnight to settle in stainless steel tanks, then racked to 3rd-fill 500-litre French oak the next morning. The wine spent 10 months on its primary lees without any batonage. No commercial yeast or enzymes were used during the winemaking process.
