The 2023 Revenge of the Crayfish Chenin blanc was harvested on two dates, the 9th of February and the 16th of February as the vineyard ripens in two stages.

Grapes were hand harvested early in the morning, then taken to the cold room and cooled down for one night. The next day the grapes were whole bunch pressed in a membrane press, with the juice being taken to a stainless steel tank for natural cold settling No enzymes were added except for a little sulphur. Clear juice was racked off the next day to a stainless steel tank and some 500 liter barrels for natural Fermentation to start. Fermentation took about 40 days. Afterwards all the finished wine was taken to old 500 liter barrels to age for 10 months on the gross lees before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. No malolactic took place.

These vineyards are located about 5 kilometres from the cold Atlantic ocean on well drained Sandstone soils in the West Coast region of Koekenaap.
