Neethlingshof Estate has a long and rich tradition of wine making in Stellenbosch, the second oldest and most premier wine producing area of South Africa. The Estate occupies an incredibly privileged site with ideal natural conditions, soils, slopes, altitudes and climate to produce a variety of great wines. All the grapes for the Neethlingshof wines are grown on the estate and all the wine is made, matured and bottled in the cellars of the estate, adhering to strict vegan guidelines during the entire farming and winemaking process.

The grapes were harvested by hand in-February at sugar levels of 23 degrees Balling. After clarification of the juice, inoculation with a selected yeast started the fermentation in temprature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. The fermentation temperature was controlled at around 16-18c and lasted for 18 days before the wine was racked and readied for bottling.
