Vinifikation The Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge is the smallest appellation in the Walker Bay wine region. Our grapes are grown in a single 12-year-old, trellised, north-east-facing vineyard, 300m above sea level in clay-rich Bokkeveld shale. The 2022 harvest took place in two distinct phases: favourable winter conditions were followed by cooler temperatures and rainfall. This delayed ripening by almost two weeks, giving the grapes a unique character and adding complexity and flavour. Our philosophy is to intervene minimally and let the terroir speak for itself. The grapes were hand-harvested on 4 and 10 March 2022 and taken directly to the press for gentle whole-bunch pressing. The juice was transferred to French oak barrels, 45% new, for fermentation. The wine then matured on its fine lees for 10 months. Only the best barrels were bottled.
