Other	Both the Pinotage and Shiraz are planted in Tukulu type soil which has a high potential, runs deep, is well -drained soil and has no physical limitations. Clay content of the topsoil is about 15% with a 20% fraction of fine gravel. The effective depth of the soil is 80cm and no drainage is required. All the grapes from the individual cultivars were harvested optimally ripe during end-February through to mid - March. We try to reflect the individuality of each cultivar during processing and use predominantly free run for the varietal wines and the blend. All components were matured for approximately 15 months on new French oak.
