The vineyards are planted on northerly and southerly slopes ranging in altitude from 16 m to 264 m about sea-level and grow in soils ranging from deep sandy to relatively shallow structured soils .The vines are trellised on a 5 wire hedge system and pest and disease control is done according to the IPW rules and standards.

Lomond Pincushion Sauvignon Blanc is the name is derived from the sugar bush proteas (Protea obtusifolia) that grow prolifically on the farm.
