The grapes were handpicked between 22°and 23° Balling in the cool early morning hours, and the whole bunch pressed. The juice was allowed to settle naturally over 12 hours. The wine was 100% barrel-fermented, followed by 15 months of maturation in old French oak with regular stirring to enhance the texture.

The estate is positioned on the narrow Cape Peninsula, where the confluence of sea breezes from the cold Atlantic Ocean, less than one mile away, and the southeasterly breezes from False Bay create ideal conditions for the slow ripening of grapes. The
grapes for this wine are hand-selected from three sea-facing vineyard parcels in the mid-levels of the estate, where a combination of the fresh breezes and decomposed granite soils result in a wine with a distinct mineral edge. The breezes and good canopy management help keep the vines healthy and diseases at bay, reducing the need for treatments. When the winds are strong, they also control the vine’s vigour and encourage a second suckering. The topography of the Noordhoek amphitheatre is also influential. It was carved from the Silvermine mountain over time. As a result, the soils of the estate vineyards are rich with decomposed granite, limestone and kaolin, imbuing the wines with their signature mineral quality.
