After harvesting,and cooling, the grapes were sorted, crushed and then put in red wine fermenters and a cold soak done @ 7° C for 4 days. After inoculation with selected yeast, the pump over’s started on all but the Merlot on which we prefer to do manual punch down to extract the colour and flavour. Extended maceration of up to 24 days also lends depth of flavours and structure.

The grapes were sources from selected mountain vineyards in the Banghoek area, a ward in Stellenbosch for their individuality.

The finished wine underwent MLF in barrel and further maturation for 18 months before carefully putting together the blend prior to bottling. All the barrels used were French oak and 60% were new and the rest 2nd fill.
