More Information

In the cellar

Grapes were harvested by hand into baskets (± 18 kg each) then destemmed, sorted manually, crushed (± 50% whole berries) and pumped to open fermenters; manual punchdowns (pigeage) 6 to 8 times per day for the duration of fermentation; average of 10 days on the skins, then drawn off and pressed using wooden basket presses; free-run and press wines blended and racked into 225 litre barrels and stainless steel tanks; malolactic fermentation in barrels and tanks; barrel to barrel and barrel to tank rackings to clarify and blend the wine.

In the vineyard

The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were harvested mid-February to mid-March from Sunset Vineyard (greater Simonsberg). This trellised vineyard was planted in 2002 and does not receive any irrigation i.e. it is a dry land vineyard. Low yield (5 tons per hectare) provided good concentration and balance with sugar levels of between 23ºB and 25ºB.

Ageing

Matured in French oak barrels for 17 months.

Cultivar

Cabernet Sauvignon
