Viticulture

The 2024 vintage delivered exceptional balance and purity, shaped by mild conditions and steady ripening across the Cape winelands. Moderate temperatures and favourable soil moisture produced fruit with excellent concentration, freshness, and varietal expression. Chardonnay from Robertson’s limestone-rich soils shows vibrant acidity, citrus and stone-fruit character, and pronounced mineral drive, while Pinot Noir from the cooler False Bay slopes of Stellenbosch contributes delicate red fruit, elegance, and finesse to the final blend.

Vinification

Vintage Cuvée — crafted only in exceptional years. The fruit was hand-harvested and whole-bunch pressed, with each parcel vinified separately in stainless steel to preserve purity and character. Grapes were picked at 17–19° Balling, ensuring naturally low alcohol and bright acidity. Malolactic fermentation was completed prior to assemblage—the meticulous art of blending—yielding a final blend of 98% Chardonnay and 2% Pinot Noir. The wine then matured for on its fine lees during second fermentation in bottle, developing layered complexity and depth. At disgorgement, a finely tuned dosage was added to bring harmony and finesse to the finished wine. 10900 bottles were produced.
