Vinifikation The vineyard used for the production of V is Stone Pine IV. This vineyard consists of two adjacent blocks located on the west to northwest-facing inland slopes of Schaapenberg. It is relatively protected from the prevailing breeze coming from False Bay and therefore enjoys a slightly warmer, yet predominantly maritime climate. The grapes were hand-harvested and fermented in closed tanks at temperatures of 25-28°C. The young wine was macerated for 56 days, followed by malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was racked into 100% new French oak barrels. The V matured for 18 months in these barrels, after which it bottle-aged for 48 months before its release.
