SPECIFICATIONS

WINEMAKER

Anthony Kock

ORIGIN

Western Cape

TERROIR / SOIL

Mainly Malmesbury shale and Cape granite soils.

VINEYARD AND CLIMATE CONDITIONS

Trellised vines aged between 13 and 19 years received supplementary irrigation and produced 10 to 14 tonnes per hectare. Mediterranean climate, with the temperatures lowered by the cooling effect of prevailing winds and sea breezes.

WINEMAKING

The grapes were machine-harvested in the cool, early morning and gently pressed in the cellar. Only the best juice was fermented in stainless-steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine spent a few months on the lees to encourage complexity before clarification and bottling. Reductive winemaking techniques minimised oxidation to protect flavours.
