    The grapes were all selected from Vergelegen’s Rooiland vineyards, planted on the north to north-westerly slopes and 100% virus free, including the world’s oldest virus free vineyard that was planted in 1999.

    Grapes were hand-picked and de-stemmed, and circa 15% stems were added back to the fermentation vessels. The de-stemmed grapes were cooled to 8°C and ‘cold soaked’ for 24 hours. Fermentation took place at 26°C followed by a 21-day maceration on the skins. After malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine went into 25% new French oak barrels for 15 months. The wine was bottled on the 13th of September 2019 after 16 months in the barrels.
