in the vineyard : Terroir
Climate, soil, altitude and slope orientation are selected to capture as much varietal character as possible. The climate is mild with south and east facing slopes offering natural protection against late afternoon sun. Cooling breezes from the Atlantic Ocean ensure rich, slow growing crops. Soils are predominantly medium textured and well-drained with good water holding capacity.
The vineyards (Viticulturist: Bennie Liebenberg)
The wine is a blend of grapes selected from from several vineyards, mainly in the Stellenbosch, Somerset West and Darling regions. The vines received a supplementary irrigation at the varaison. Pest and disease control was implemented according to South African subjective IPW standards.
