The vineyard
The grapes are sourced from mature, low-yielding vineyards in the cool-climate Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. This region's proximity to the ocean ensures moderate temperatures, allowing the Italian and French grape varieties to develop concentrated flavors while retaining natural acidity.
Winemaking
Following a manual harvest, the grapes undergo alcoholic fermentation in tanks, followed by an extended malolactic fermentation. The components are then blended and aged for twelve months in French oak barrels before bottling.
