The Tempranillo and Grenache Noir grapes are both sourced from Fairview in Paarl. The Carignan is sourced from old bush vines in the Swartland, planted in 1981. The Grenache Noir is also from bush vine vineyards, with its naturally upright shoots trained through a stok-by-paaltjie (vine on post) technique.

The wine was matured in French and American oak barrels (20% new barrels) for 24 months. Each component of the blend was kept separate and until final barrel selection and blending occurred.

The grapes were handpicked and sorted into open top French oak foudres for fermentation. The Grenache Noir and Carignan grapes included 20% whole bunches. Punch-downs took place daily and basket-pressed post fermentation.
