In the vineyard
The grapes were sourced from vineyards in Paarl. The vines, situated some 80m to 150m above sea level and planted between 1977 and 1989, are grown in Clovelly soil. Grafted onto nematode-resistant rootstock Richter 99 and 101-14, some of the vines received supplementary irrigation from a micro-irrigation system while in other instances, fruit was grown under dryland conditions. Yields averaged around 8.5 tons per hectare.
About the harvest
The grapes were harvested by hand at 21.5° to 22.5° Balling in March.
In the cellar
The fruit was crushed and received up to 8 hours' skin contact to extract flavours. After clarification the juice was fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 15° C for three weeks.
