Majority of grapes originate from Stellenbosch on slopes facing False Bay. The cool morning and late afternoon South Western sea breezes ensure slow ripening during the season for flavour development. The grapes are hand picked at 24.5 - 25.5 degrees Balling. Each variety is picked and vinified separately. Fermentation took place for 7 days at around 24°C.
