An above average winter rainfall was followed by a cool spring with surprisingly high rainfall resulting in above average vigor. The crop developed initially under optimal conditions, but unfortunately a heat wave hit the cape winelands at the middle of summer. However, the vineyards recovered well and still produced excellent quality of grapes.

Fermentation was completed in tank and the wine bottled after three months of further development on the lees.
