Vinifikation The Sémillon comes from old, low-yielding Franschhoek vines, estimated to be 40 years old, which contributes a textural dimension only possible with vineyards of this age. The Sauvignon Blanc comes from Gabriëlskloof, where the vines are 14 years old and situated on south-facing slopes with a combination of Table Mountain sandstone and Bokkeveld shale soils. The cool maritime climate results in naturally lower yields – typically six tons per hectare. Both the Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc were fermented and aged in 400 and 500-litre old French oak barrels and made with minimal intervention (natural fermentation) in an oxidative style (whole bunch pressed). Both wines spent approximately ten months on their lees before being blended and bottled.
