The grapes for this wine were sourced from vineyards located mostly in the lower Durbanville foothills on the southern slopes, some 250 metres above sea level. The vineyards, grown in dark red soils, yielded approximately 9 tons per hectare, and were harvested from mid to late February between 24° and 26° Balling when the grapes were showing ripe, yellow colours.
