Stellenbosch’s 2022 / 2023 season began with mild and dry conditions which had a crucial impact on grape quantity and quality. Drier conditions limited berry mass and subsequently yields, but also ensured outstanding quality. The cool ripening period aided early to mid- season cultivars, and high quality wines were prepared during this time. The ripening of the later varieties and mostly reds were challenged by the onset of early rains.

The vines are all planted with the "stok by paaltjie" method on a terraced slope. We harvested the three separate parcels together on the 1st February and whole bunch pressed all together. After a quick settling, the juice were fermented in one 550L Amphorae and a 300L neutral barrel and left on the leese untill preparation for bottling on the 9th October started. The wine was released on the 1st April.
