The process


The making of our wines

… begins with carefully selected grapes and a deep respect for traditional winemaking methods.

T

he journey begins in the vineyard, where carefully selected grapes are nurtured with patience and care to ensure optimal quality, character, and expression in every harvest. Each vineyard block is monitored throughout the season, allowing the fruit to develop its full potential under ideal growing conditions.

At Da Hanekom Familie Wyne, the harvesting process is guided by timing and precision. Grapes are picked at optimal ripeness to ensure balance, flavour, and structure. Once harvested, the fruit is carefully sorted to maintain only the highest quality grapes for production.

The winemaking process then begins with gentle handling and controlled fermentation, allowing the natural characteristics of the grapes to shine through. Every step is carefully managed to preserve aroma, depth, and complexity while maintaining the integrity of the varietal.

After fermentation, the wines are matured under carefully monitored conditions, allowing flavours to develop and harmonise over time. This maturation process is essential in building structure, smoothness, and a refined final profile that reflects both tradition and craftsmanship.

Throughout the entire journey, attention to detail and respect for traditional winemaking methods remain at the heart of everything we do. From vineyard to bottle, each stage is handled with dedication, ensuring consistency and quality in every release.

The result is a collection of wines that reflect heritage, passion, and the unique story of the vineyard — crafted not only to be enjoyed, but to be remembered.
