At our winery, we do not use generic barrels because we want to produce extraordinary results. Our new barrels are seasoned, dry, and are without toasting for up to five years, before being steamed. They are then used for 16 months to make the wine. There is an inherent patience in the making of our wine.

The Midnight grapes are sourced from our wine farm in Tulbagh and are arguably one of the best representations of the terroirs in the Elements Range. Elgin is the coolest area with bokkeveld shale. It has a cooler climate which is best for aromatic grapes, allowing them to retain their bright acidity. Franschhoek is more moderate in climate and has sandy soil. It is ideal for growing robust, rich red wines and the shadows of the mountains help to moderate the climate for more complex aromas in the wine. Tulbagh in the Breede River Valley has a hot climate that has cool evenings, with decomposed shale soil. The climate lends itself to wine that has richly developed flavours and long-lasting finishes.
