Extensive bunch sorting formed part of the quality process. The Semillon was whole bunch pressed and the Sauvignon Blanc was destemmed and crushed. Both were barrel fermented at 17˚C for 20 days.

Wet, cool climate conditions allowed replenishment of water reserves and slow ripening. 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. The grapes were handpicked in the early hours of the morning from premium wine regions: Darling, Durbanville, Stellenbosch, Elgin.

Maturation took place in 330 litre French oak barrels for 5 months. The wine was then blended and returned to the barrel for an additional 5 months.
