Vineyards thrive on Swartland’s granite-rich, alluvial soils. These vineyards produce low yields and small concentrated berries. The grapes are hand-picked and naturally fermented in stainless steel tanks. 30% whole-bunch- and 70% whole-berry-fermented to add to complexity and tannin structure. Pump overs are done once daily during fermentation. After fermentation, the wine is pressed and returned to tank for Malolactic fermentation, 15% in older 300 litre barrels
