Wine Makers Notes
| Winemaker | Adam Mason |
|---|---|
| Winemakers Approach | Grapes were sourced from top quality vineyards in Elgin, Walker Bay, Somerset West and Constantia. |
| The Vintage | Given the warm, dry conditions leading up the harvest, the fruit quality was of the highest standard, and the resultant wine flavourful and full-bodied. |
| The Winemaking | Purchased grapes were chilled overnight before careful processing in the cellar. Fermentations lasted up to 4 weeks, whereafter the wines remained on gross lees for 3 months before blending |
