The vines grow on the slopes of Helderberg on weathered granite. Cooling day winds from False Bay and cold mountain air at night encourage even ripening and natural acidity. The grapes were fermented with wild, vineyard-specific yeasts, without enzymes or fining agents, and matured for twelve months in French oak barrels. Full-bodied, the wine shows aromas of French oak, vanilla, almond, orange blossom, quince and honeysuckle; the long finish brings orange, dried apricot and marzipan. It was bottled unfiltered; 790 bottles were produced.
