The age of the vines range from twenty seven- to thirty one years old.

The wine spend 13 months in barrel where after it was racked and blended together.

Each grape variety was harvested and vinified separately. The Muscat component was destemmed and crushed and left for two days on the skins to ferment. The grapes were pressed in a pneumatic press after two days. Free run juice and pressed juice was pumped into older 500L and 228L barrels to start fermentation by a selected yeast strain. Grapes from the Weisser Riesling and Chenin Blanc where also allowed to start fermentation on the skins where after it was pressed and racked to barrels.
