The grapes were hand-picked in the early morning. After de-stemming, they received three hours of skin contact. The juice was clarified before fermentation and great care was taken to ensure that only clear juice was used for the fermentation. To ensure fruit purity, 90% of the wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks at cold temperatures and the remaining 10% of the wine was fermented in 500-litre French oak barrels. This natural, barrel-fermented component contributes to the wine’s complexity and mouthfeel. Lastly, the wine was aged on the lees for six months before bottling to enhance mouthfeel.

The 2024 harvest started two weeks earlier than the previous year. However, unforeseen winds during late November and early December resulted in a reduced yield. Despite this, the anticipated quality remains exceptional. Elevated temperatures in early February necessitated an early grape harvest by the team. The grapes were harvested from 40 and 47-year-old bush vines in the Paarl. The soil consists of mostly decomposed granite that’s well suited for Chenin Blanc vineyards in dryland conditions. No irrigation was given in the vineyard, and the vines rely only on natural rainfall. Small berry clusters form due to the natural balance in the vines that provides good natural acidity and concentrated fruit flavours.
