TERROIR / SOIL:
Mainly Kroonstad and Clovelly soils from vineyards in the Stellenbosch, Paarl and Breedekloof regions, 14 to 80 km from the Atlantic Ocean.

VINEYARD AND CLIMATE CONDITIONS:
This wine’s grapes were from vines aged between 14 and 18 years, growing in south-facing vineyards. Average temperature: winter 9° - 16°C; summer 14° - 26°C. Annual rainfall: 850 – 1100 mm

WINEMAKING:
The grapes were hand-harvested early in the morning, crushed and destemmed. Skin contact lasted six hours to extract the beautiful colour. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures. The wine was blended together before bottling under 5 Bar pressure with CO2 gas to create a smooth, elegant bubble in the wine.
