Vineyard Sites: Overberg, Elgin, and Stellenbosch.
The Overberg vineyard has Tafelberg Sandstone, whose stony soils contribute a flinty minerality. The grapes from Elgin add a balancing component of fresh, zest acidity. The Stellenbosch vineyard is in close proximity to the ocean, and the cooling winds add a saline quality to the grapes. French oak was used for barrel maturation, primarily neutral oak, but with about 15% new oak. Regular stirring on the lees added a fuller body and balanced acidity.
