in the vineyard : The vineyards are all located on the valley floor. The soil types predominantly are:

Nouvelle & Chenin Blanc as well as Sauvignon Blanc - the soil as analysed was categorised as a Tukulu type which means a high potential deep, well drained soil with no physical limitations. Clay content of the top soil is ±15% with a 20% fraction of fine gravel. The effective depth of the soil is 80cm and no drainage is required.

Pinot Gris - a Longlands type which has a light coloured unstructured top soil in which removal of colloidal material has taken place. This resulted from the build up of a periodic water table above a rather non permeable sub soil.

about the harvest: All the grapes from the individual cultivars were harvested optimally ripe during the end of January through to mid March.

in the cellar : We try to reflect the individuality of each cultivar during processing and use predominantly free run for the varietal wines and the blend.
