Fermentation can last between two and four weeks.

In the vineyard

Planted in 1982 these old bush vines now never yield more than 4 tons per hectare. Unirrigated and planted in weathered granite topsoil and crumbly clay sub soil it’s called “Kliprug” because of all the numerous rocks on the ground.

The wine is aged in barrel for 10 months prior to bottling.
