in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from vineyards in and around the Western Cape. Planted between 1990 and 1998 in soil of decomposed granite, Kroonstad and Swartland soils, the vineyards face south to south-easterly at altitudes of between 80 m and 150 m. The vines, grafted onto nematode resistant rootstock Richter 99, 110 and 101-114, received supplementary irrigation from an overhead sprinkler system, yielded an average of 8 to 10 tons per hectare.
