| And the vineyards (terroir): | The vineyards for this wine are situated on the northern slopes of the Banhoek Valley, ranging in altitude from 450 – 500m above sea level allowing for moderate temperatures. We harvest eight tons per hectare. |
| How was it made: | The optimally ripe bunches were given an overnight “cold-soak” to allow for colour extraction early in the winemaking process. Fermentation took place with temperatures peaking at 28ºC. The wine was pressed off the skins directly after fermentation and following malolactic fermentation, it was matured for 12 months in seasoned 300L French oak barrels. |
