in the vineyard : Pinotage is mostly harvested from bush vines, some of which are 25 years old. This is supplemented by a small amount of fruit from a younger trellised vineyard at Fairview. The vineyards are from three sites; Malmesbury and Agter Paarl, which is dry farmed vineyards on deep shale soils, and Fairview in more sandy, duplex soils.

Viognier grows on the gently slopes at the base of Paarl mountain on granite soils and some new sites in Agter Paarl (Primo vineyards â€“ Glenrosa soil type). Weâ€™ve been co-fermenting (experimentally) a Pinotage and Viognier for the last 3 years and the results have always been surprising and interesting. The resultant wine normally has a slight perfumed lift and subtle tannin evolution.
