Grapes are sourced from Fairtrade certified vineyards predominantly in the Swartland region. These are trellised vineyards and grow on koffieklip and deep red oakleaf soils with deep water retention. The vineyards are meticulously farmed and yields are managed down below 6 tons per hectare.
Grapes were handpicked very early in the morning allowing the fruit to retain their natural flavor. Only the free run juice was used, allowed to settle and inoculated with selected yeast strain, fermenting under controlled conditions at 13 °C.
