The grapes come from two old vineyard blocks planted in 1974 and 1979 on the Reyneke estate. The vineyards are located in the Polkadraai Hills on weathered granite soils. After hand-harvesting and overnight cooling, the must fermented spontaneously in 300-litre oak casks and foudres. It was matured for ten months on the lees in older wood. The nose shows quince, white pear, lemon and a touch of honeysuckle; on the palate, the dry wine is juicy, lively and acid-driven, with texture and notes of apple and quince.
