About The Harvest
Following a good, wet winter in the Cape as it should be, harvest 2021 promised less stressed fruits and even better quality grapes. Spring was moderate and the cool climate carried through to December and January.
In The Cellar
Picked at optimum ripeness, grapes underwent natural fermentation in large French oak fermenters. Following malolactic fermentation, individual blocks were kept separate for eight months. Using only the free running juice, this blend was carefully created and matured for a further 12 months in French oak barriques.
