Grapes used for the production of this wine originate from the Paardeberg and Swartland areas. The majority of the vineyards consist of bush-vines without irrigation. The grapes were hand-picked at an optimum ripeness of 24.5 degrees Balling. Fermentation took place at 22 to 24 degrees Celsius, with daily pump-overs and punch-downs.
