The grapes were brought to the cellar where they were de-stemmed and sorted to remove any unwanted berries. The berries were crushed and the juice was settled overnight with only clean free-run juice transferred to the fermentation vessels. This wine was naturally fermented in Ceramic Amphora, a Diamanté Wine Tanks and French oak barrels.

The 2023 vintage was notably interesting, with an early start, a dry spring, and much-needed rainfall in early December. The growing season was cool, promoting good vineyard growth, and the harvest began 10 days earlier than in 2022 under favourable weather conditions. Made from a Single Vineyard of Chenin Blanc on top of Paardeberg Mountain, this wine, presents a marriage of skill, unique terroir and the noble qualities of the Chenin Blanc grape. The soil is mostly decomposed granite and this gives natural acidity and freshness to the wine with excellent ageing potential. The grapes were hand-harvested at 23 °Balling in the early morning in small crates.

The wine was aged on the lees for eight months before blending the different components to create perfect harmony
