The grapes for the wine come from selected "Bush Vine" vineyards in Stellenbosch. The average age of these vines is 35 years, and most of them were planted on decomposed granite soil. Due to the nature of the bushy vines, careful canopy management was carried out so that the clusters are not exposed to excessive sunlight and to ensure even ripening of the grapes. The cool, wet spring was 7-14 days later than usual due to bud break, but it happened consistently, which promises a great vintage.
The grapes were harvested by hand early in the morning and immediately crushed into the tanks. Longer (24 hours) aging on the skins was used to extract all the flavors of the Chenin and thus ensure the good structure of the final wine, and only a very small portion of the "whole bunch" was pressed. Only the freely flowing juice was used, and it was steeped for 1 day, only then inoculated with the selected yeast strains. The juice was poured into barrels and terracotta amphorae for fermentation. No new barrels were used, so that the unique characters of the given region were preserved in the wine. After fermentation, the wine was aged for another 7 months, primarily on the lees, before it was racked and prepared for bottling.
