- 100% Chenin Blanc
- Grown on a 40-year-old Schist soil vineyard on Kasteelberg and a 44-year-old Granite soil vineyard on the Paardeberg, both of which are dry land farmed
- Grapes were hand-harvested at a normal ripeness for a dry wine and then left to desiccate outdoors in the shade for 16 to 30 days
- When the grapes were shriveled half-way to becoming raisins they were crushed and pressed whole-bunch and racked to old 225L barrels
- Natural yeast fermentation took 11 months for this vintage, allowed to stop naturally when the yeast couldn’t ferment any further
- Aged for 11 months in old (minimum 5th fill) 225L French oak barrels
