The grapes for this delicious Cape Blend were harvested at optimal maturity and lightly crushed on arrival at the winery. The resulting juice rested for 6 hours with contact on the skin before being mixed with selected yeasts to start the fermentation process. The four-day fermentation took place at a controlled temperature of 26-28°C, with the wine being pumped over three times a day. Once the alcoholic fermentation was complete, the malolactic fermentation was completed in the tank. The wine then matured in selected American oak barrels.
