Vinifikation Mabalel is named after a poem by the legendary South African polymath Eugene Marais, which tells the story of the eponymous daughter of a local chief, who was attacked by the crocodile Lalele while fetching water from the Limpopo River. The vineyard was established on the farm "Kaaimansgat" – the Crocodile Farm – and a river flows past the vineyards. The site is 700 m high and surrounded by dramatic mountains, whose peaks are often snow-capped in winter. Fermented only with natural yeasts and with 40% whole bunch fermentation. Total time in tank was 29 days with a 14-day post-fermentation maceration. The wine was then transferred to barrels (20% new) where it matured for 11 months.
