The grapes received partial skin contact and were gently pressed, retaining freshness. Fermentation lasted 3 weeks at 15˚C. An 8% barrel fermented Semillon component contributes to additional body and dimension. It was left on the lees for 5 months post fermentation, adding to the depth of flavour.

The season began with mild and dry conditions which had a crucial impact on grape quantity and quality. Drier conditions limited berry mass and subsequently yields, but also ensured outstanding quality. The cool ripening period aided early cultivars, and high-quality wines were prepared during this time. Late cultivars, which had to wait until after the rains to go to the cellar, presented producers with various challenges. Despite these challenges, vineyards that were well-managed handled the unfavourable conditions well and produced high-quality grapes. The grapes were handpicked in the early hours from four premium wine regions: Durbanville, Stellenbosch and Darling. This combination showcases the unique flavours from each region.
