The Dry Land Collection Wines are made from grapes of dry land vineyards, which showcase the uniqueness of the wines grown in this testing terroir. The wine is made in a new world style complex with ample fruit and structure. The grapes were harvested from two 13 and 26 year old vineyard blacks in the Paarl area. Harvesting took place in February at a minimum of 25° Balling in the early morning when it was still cool. The soils, a combination of decomposed granite and Malmesbury shales, are deep and strong in structure. These vineyard blocks used little to no irrigation as they primarily relied on winter rainfall.
