in the vineyard : Climate
Mediterranean with the rainfall +/- 650mm per annum, the vineyards are located high up on the northern slopes of the Helderberg Mountain. This contribution imparts warmer fruit flavours to the wine. In summer, the vineyards' close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean result in cool sea breezes that keeps temperatures lower, extending the ripening period.

A diverse composition of soil and topography add complexity and an array of different characteristics to the wine.
