Harvest

Chardonnay 60% and Pinot Noir 40% were handpicked in the cool of the early morning. Grapes were picked between 18° - 20° balling to ensure low alcohol and pH. 

Vineyard

Prolonged winter conditions continued in some areas up until September, followed by a cool spring, which delayed bud burst by 7 to 14 days. The cold, wet weather conditions ensured even bud burst, as well as the accumulation of water supplies that would allow the vineyards to cope with the warmer conditions later in the season. Ideal weather conditions during the harvest season – moderate day temperatures, cool night temperatures and no prolonged rain or heat waves – had a positive impact on wine grape quality and establishing good colour and flavour. The Chardonnay grapes came from Robertson region and planted in rich limestone soils. The Pinot noir was planted on cooler areas of Stellenbosch. Because of early picking no additional irrigation was needed and canopy was opened to ensure enough sun exposure of the bunches.
