The grapes received partial skin contact and were gently pressed, retaining freshness. Fermentation lasted 3 weeks at 15 ̊C. An 8% Semillon component was fermented in new French oak barrels for 3 weeks, adding additional body and dimension.

Wet, cool climate conditions allowed replenishment of water reserves and slow ripening period. Despite the smaller yields, the harvest season produced outstanding quality berries resulting in great wines with respectable aging potential. The flavours and fruit concentration are particularly evident, as the red cultivars achieved ultimate alcohol and sugar levels. The grapes were handpicked in the early hours from four premium wine regions: Durbanville, Stellenbosch, Darling, and Franschhoek. This combination showcases the unique flavours from each region.

It was left on the lees for 5 months post-fermentation, adding to the depth of flavour.
