The harvest season was characterized by healthy, ideal growing conditions and a cool, though lengthened, harvesting period without rain or prolonged heat. Days were moderate in temperature with cool evenings which resulted in excellent ripening conditions. Harvest commenced on 26th February 2015, almost a month earlier than usual.
The grapes were sourced from a south-west facing bush vine vineyard grown in decomposed granite and table mountain sandstone.
