Fermented in overhead retort-shaped, stainless steel fermentors at 28°C. Three pump-overs were done daily over the fermenting cap. After pressing, the wine was racked to barrel where it fin- ished malo-lactic fermentation.

Stellenbosch Kloof enjoys a cooler Mediterranean climate with mari- time influences from False Bay, 14km to the south, and a refreshing breeze channelled from the West Coast’s Benguela current 24km to the north-west. These two breezes culminate at the top end of the ravine and bring in early morning mists, especially from False Bay. Consequently, temperatures in our meso-climate can be measured at least 3° Celsius cooler than inland Stellenbosch during ripening peri- ods. This adds a unique characteristic to Jordan wines.

A selection of the best barrels was made and the wine spent a total of 24 months in 225 litre French oak barrels.
