Winemaking The 2.5-hectare vineyard is located on a south-easterly slope at 200 meters above sea level, featuring well-drained shale soils and benefiting from cooling summer winds that enhance grape quality. The vineyard KB5 is located in Stellenbosch at an elevation of 250 meters with a southwest orientation. The vines, aged 25 years, are planted in shale soils. The climate is characterized by hot, dry conditions during the growing season, leading to very early ripening, with harvest occurring on February 1st. Fermentation takes place in open concrete vessels using ambient yeast, and the wine is aged for 20 months in French oak barrels.
