Vinification The world's oldest wine-growing soil consists of decomposed granite on the lower slopes of the Helderberg. This vineyard benefits from the refreshingly cool breeze from False Bay (Atlantic Ocean) during the day and the cool night air flowing down the mountain, leading to even ripening of the berries and good natural acidity. The macroclimate is maritime, with cold, damp, wet winters and sunny, warm summers. Biodynamic practices were also applied in the vineyard. In the winery, the grapes were sorted twice - first the whole bunches and then the berries - to ensure that only the best grapes entered the fermentation tank. Extraction is carried out by pumping over, which is carefully monitored to prevent over-extraction during primary and secondary fermentation. The wine is aged for 22-24 months in French oak barrels.
