The Syrah vineyard used to produce this wine is planted on Karibib Farm and farmed by Jozua Joubert. The vineyard is planted on a steep south-facing slope of the Polkadraai Hills at an elevation of approximately 290m. The fruit was 100% whole-bunch fermented and left to start fermenting naturally, with one punch down per day performed.
After pressing, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation in barrel (40% 3rd fill, 10% new wood) and Italian concrete(50%). The wines were blended together after 11 months in barrel and bottled right after. No enzymes or commercial yeast were used in making the wines.

“The name has several meanings to me. It is not only a reminder of some sage advice from my grandfather who always told me that if you want to make a success of something, you need to put in the hard yards and graft (depicted by the man working in the top left hand corner). The word also refers to how two individual parts can be grafted together to form a stronger and more meaningful whole as shown by the vines being grafted in the image. The honeybee and finch are both very hardworking and despite not always knowing if what they are doing will work, they still graft and get it done. The stamp is a reference to our South African heritage.” – Lukas Van Loggerenberg
