Drip-irrigation ensures optimal ripening. The vines are planted on south facing slopes in soils consisting of weathered granite on clay and benefit from the cooling effect of the nearby Atlantic Ocean (False Bay) during the ripening season. Post harvest 2023 Stellenbosch had a cold winter with above average rainfall and sufficient cold units for the vines to rest. Slightly warmer temperatures end Aug led to even budding and slow initial growth. End September saw strong winds and heavy rainfall which slowed things down again. No significant amounts of rain towards Feb. With these conditions harvest was about 10days earlier than normal. White wines show good intensity and reds of high quality. Overall, the yields were down by 10%.

These perfectly ripe grapes were gently pressed to avoid any harsh phenols. After settling, the juice was then racked, fermented at cool temperatures and left on the fine lees to enhance depth of flavour.
