Situated at the foot of the Du Toitskloof Pass, this site offers altitude and granite-rich soils with clay and quartz. The clay element provides high water retention properties and
releases much-needed water during the warm summer. The lowest part of the estate is 220 metres above sea level, climbing to 330m at the highest part. The vineyards are exposed to strong winds that naturally reduce yields and offer a cooling effect in Paarl's warm, dry climate. This wine is an interplanted field blend of 16 varieties planted as bush vines in soils rich in decomposed shale. The vineyard is manually cultivated, with a commitment to sustainable farming. Natural predators are used instead of pesticides, and the vines are hand-harvested.
