Grapes were handpicked early in the morning at Cavalli, in three separate pickings. Grapes were crushed, pressed and settled overnight to achieve good clarity of juice.
The juice was inoculated with two different yeasts: one aimed at achieving a fuller mouthfeel and an expressive fruit profile. The wines were fermented in stainless steel tanks, with occasional stirring of the lees post-ferment. The wine was blended just 2 months on its lees and prepared for bottling.

Cavalli’s wine and vineyard philosophy is to produce world-class wines with a distinctly local character and strong identity, so they are clearly recognized as coming from the Helderberg region, while striving to set the benchmark for terroir and quality in the Helderberg for years to come.
They aim for their immediate environment to be reflected in the characteristics of their wines while upholding sustainable farming practices that preserve the land, which falls within the Cape Floral Kingdom, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Helderberg region of Stellenbosch is closest to the ocean and benefits from the cooling influence of southerly winds. The soils contain large amounts of koffieklip, with a higher percentage of clay in the subsoil, giving the wines an innate elegance and expressive fruit character.
The farm uses 100% Vititech mother block plant material, resulting in virus-free vineyards and optimal growth that produces outstanding wines. Extreme attention to detail, from soil preparation to bottling, combined with a hands-on approach, ensures grapes of the highest quality.
