in the vineyard : Planted on alluvial soils along the Eerste River, these vines grow well. They are trellised on a four wire Perold trellis system and are pruned back to two eye spurs. To restrict yield and promote light penetration for better colour, we practice an extensive summer canopy management program. The oldest vines are 18 years old and supplementary irrigation is given when necessary.
