The vines are planted on weathered granite on the lower slopes of Helderberg. The cool maritime climate, with breezes from False Bay and cold night air, supports slow ripening and natural acidity. The grapes, harvested in the early morning, were pressed as whole bunches; the must first matured in stainless steel and then in French oak casks, amphorae and concrete eggs. Primary and malolactic fermentation proceeded spontaneously. After twelve months of maturation, the wine shows minerality, citrus and lime, along with shortbread and dessert peach, supported by fresh acidity and a long finish.
