In the vineyard

The vineyards are located 195mt above sea level and enjoy very favorable climatic conditions as they are reached by Atlantic breezes from False Bay and due to their southern exposure.
Soil: decomposed granite and loam.

In the cellar

51% is fermented in 228l French oak barrels and 49% in 400l Italian clay amphorae for a period of 6 months. The amphora has the natural ability to keep the pomace in constant suspension during fermentation.
The must is then matured “sur-lie” for 6 months, with occasional punching down.
Six barrels are subjected to natural fermentation. No sulfide is added during winemaking, but only with bottling.
