The vineyards lie on the south-western edge of Paarl, in a Mediterranean climate with cold, rainy winters and dry summers. The soils consist of weathered granite and Malmesbury shale; the vines were 22 years old. The grapes were hand-picked, destemmed and fermented in small open tanks with gentle punch-downs. The wine matured for ten months in French 300-litre hogsheads, 15 percent of which were new oak. It shows cedar, blackcurrant and a touch of tobacco, with medium body and an elegant profile, supported by fine-grained, dry tannins. The vintage has 13,3 percent alcohol, 1,4 g/l residual sugar, 5,4 g/l acidity and a pH of 3,75.
