- Chenin Blanc
- Sourced from the parcels of old vine Chenin Blanc that give the best acidity at harvest
- The vines are planted in the stony Schist based soils of the Kasteelberg and the decomposed Granite based soils of the Paardeberg
- Grapes are hand harvested at normal ripeness and left to dry in the shade of some trees for a few weeks
- Once they are shriveled halfway, they are crushed and pressed whole bunch into old 225L barrels
- Naturally fermented for around 9 months and finishes on its own, with no fortification or filtration
- Each vintage, a barrel or two of Straw Wine are held back and blended into a Solera system
