The grapes were sourced from dryland vineyards in Darling, Durbanville and Paarl, planted 1998, and grow in soils originating from decomposed granite. The vineyards are situated on south to south-westerly facing slopes situated at altitudes of 120m to 160m. Grafted onto nematode resistant rootstock Richter 99, the vineyards received supplementary irrigation by means of an overhead sprinkler system.
