50% of the blend comes from a single block of Chardonnay on our estate in Robertson, 25% from Darling Chardonnay and 25% from Elgin Pinot Noir. Grapes were hand-harvested in the early mornings during the second and third weeks of January 2015.

Matured on the gross lees for 4 months before it was blended with the rest of the base wines, which were fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine was bottled in July 2015 and kept on the lees for 5 years.

The induvidual parcels of grapes were gently whole-bunch pressed and only the cuvée fractions (first 400L per ton) were used for this blend. 50% of the wine was barrel fermented in neutral French Piece Champenoise oak barrels.
