in the vineyard : Grapes were sourced from well-established, trellised vineyards in the Stellenbosch, Malmesbury and Robertson regions, planted between 1985 and 1990 and at altitudes of between 100m and 250m. The vineyards in Malmesbury and Robertson face east to southeast and south west, and the vines in Stellenbosch, face south to south–west to take advantage of maritime winds.
