The grapes come from the lower slopes of the Helderberg, where the soils consist of weathered granite. Cool breezes from False Bay and nocturnal mountain air ensure even ripening and natural acidity. After an early harvest, the whole bunches were pressed; the must initially rested in a stainless-steel tank and was then matured in concrete and clay amphorae. Fermentation began naturally, without commercial yeasts, enzymes or fining agents. The nose shows peach, white apple blossom, melon and grapefruit zest; on the palate, the wine is clear, fresh and mineral. The vintage has 12,65 % alcohol, 4,6 g/l residual sugar, 5,7 g/l total acidity and a pH value of 3,32.
