Treatment in the cellar

The grapes for this Cape Blend were hand-picked at optimum ripeness and then destemmed, crushed and fermented on the skins for 7 days at a regulated 24-30° C. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was pressed in the traditional basket press, after which the free flowing juice was transferred to 300 l barrels made from 100% new French oak and spontaneous malolactic fermentation was allowed. The wine then spent 18 months in barrique. At the end of aging, Pinotage, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz were blended and the blend matured for another 9 months in the bottle.
