Long, moderate to dry warm spells led to near perfect ripening conditions. Possibly one of the best vintages the Cape has seen. Method: De-stalked, hand sorting of berries, crushed, pumped into stainless steel tanks, pumped over for 8 days, left for 3 days before pressing, racked to barrel for malolactic fermentation.
