Production Details The grapes were hand-picked into small baskets and taken to the cellar where they were destalked and gently crushed. The wine fermented in small open bins with four punch downs a day. When totally dry, it was pressed into oak barrels to complete malolactic fermentation. The wine matured for 14 months in small French oak barrels of which roughly 30% were new. This wine was finished off with a little Pinotage and Shiraz.
