in the vineyard : Our Sauvignon Blanc grapes are from leashed vineyards near the town of Barrydale in the Little Karoo. Grown on a south facing slope with rows in an East/West direction on weathered slate in the top soils and sandy/clay in the subsoil. Contrary to the early ripening of most of the Sauvignon Blanc in the Breederivervalley and Little Karoo this vineyard ripens on average 2 weeks later This ensures gradual ripening and increase of varietal aroma protected by the exposition and local climate of this vineyard.
