Treatment in the cellar

All the grape material comes from old bush vines of the Swartland, of which 25 m fermented whole bunch. The grapes were first subjected to a gentle extraction without any addition of yeast, acid or enzymes. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was aged for 10 months in old French oak barrels followed by coarse filtration and bottling.
