The timeline story of the current vineyard

Step Silently

In a region where vineyards often have a relatively short productive lifespan due to various challenges, we take a different approach. By carefully nurturing our older vines, we preserve their unique character and allow that depth and complexity to shine through in the wines we craft.

We maintain a thoughtful balance of old and young vines, across both white and red cultivars, continually refining our selection to stay aligned with our long-term vision.

Our winemaking process

Production

Ripe Grapes

Agterkliphoogte

Grapes are handpicked and selected from the best grapes the vineyards has to offer.

Pressing

Hand Pressed

All grapes are hand pressed with classic wooden presses to ensure that only the best juices are extracted from the grape.

Aging

Wood & Steel

Our red wines are aged in French Oak barrels and most white wines are fermented in stainless steel tanks.

Fermentation

Slow fermentation under controlled temperatures allows the yeast to optimally extract alcohol during the process.

Most white wines are completed with a filtration process, most red wines not at all!
