Winery	The grapes come from five small vineyard parcels in several locations in the Elgin Valley. Elgin is the coolest wine region in South Africa and is situated on an inland, hexagonal-shaped plateau at an altitude of 300 metres. Mountains surround the region and lies just over six miles from the Atlantic Ocean, which brings occasional sea-borne mists. February is the hottest month, with daytime temperatures peaking at 23°C and night-time temperatures dipping to 14°C. The benefit of this cooler climate is that the grape cluster stays connected to its roots for longer, so it develops complex characteristics and achieves physiological ripeness more gradually, resulting in lower sugar levels and, consequently, lower alcohol levels. The Syrah clones SH9c and SH22 flourish in the Bokkeveld Shale and Cartref soils, which offer good drainage and produce elegant wines. The grapes were hand-picked and manually sorted.
