The Stellenbosch region enjoyed an exceptional winter, characterised by a steady accumulation of cold temperatures spanning from the end of May to the end of August. While the early spring was notably cool and dry, the growing season gradually became wetter and cooler. The arrival of extraordinary summer rainfall resulted in the growth of lush canopies and rapid growth rates in the vineyards. However, the prevailing cool and wet conditions were abruptly interrupted by heatwaves in January. Nevertheless, this unexpected turn of events contributed significantly to establishing an excellent foundation for the 2022 vintage, fostering impressive flavour development and sugar concentrations, resulting in Cap Classique showcasing elegance and finesse.
