Vinification: This co-planted vineyard is planted on a south-western slope of the Paardeberg. The weathered granite on this site is very coarse and extremely well drained on a rocky subsoil stratum. This leads to the early ripening of this vineyard, with ample natural acidity at the time of picking and relatively low alcohol levels at full ripeness. At this point, the vineyard is picked in two stages, and each of the two stages is co- fermented and blended early for ageing. Our future goal is to pick the entire vineyard in one go and have all of the components co-fermented in one tank. We have made a number of vintages already, and each year, we get closer to the objective. Ageing: After pressing, the wine is transferred to concrete tanks and old wooden vats to prevent the imparting of wooden flavours. After 11 months on the lees, the wine is racked to tank, and we add 65mg/Litre of sulphur and bottle the wine from the fine lees.
