The Mediterranean climate of Klapmuts allows for warm, temperate summers and cold, wet winters. The growing season is characterized by warm, sunny days and constant cooling southerly sea breezes ensures optimal ripening with long 'hang time'.

Thereafter the wine is matured in French Oak barrels for 18 months, and after careful blending is lightly fined and filtered before bottling.

Grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness and carefully sorted upon arrival at the cellar. Thereafter, the grapes are destemmed and crushed and the resultant is fermented in stainless steel tanks for up to 21 days.
