in the vineyard : Background
Flanked by the Helderberg and Stellenbosch Mountain, between Stellenbosch and the False Bay coast, lies an exceptional tract of land that benefits from terroirs eminently suited to the cultivation of the highest quality wine grapes. This jewel in the crown of the magnificent Stellenbosch wine-growing region is known as the Golden Triangle. At its core lies Stellenzicht.

The award-winning Stellenzicht range reserves its Golden Triangle label for those wines which most eloquently demonstrate the unique terroir of this special part of the Helderberg, home to some of South Africa's most exceptional wines.

Vinyard Location
Planted in 1995, the vineyard lies on a relatively flat slope with the rows orientated from north to south. The medium-potential soil originates from decomposed granite and the vines received an overhead, supplementary irrigation at the time of veraison. Being bush vines, the yield balanced out at around 7 tonnes per hectare. Lower than the average yield, the fruit shows excellent concentration and health.
Viticulturist: Eben Archer

about the harvest: Being bush-vines, all the grapes were picked by hand.
