The estate is located in the Cape Agulhas appellation of origin, at 34˚ 34´ south latitude. Altitudes vary, with some blocks at 50 metres above sea level, while others are located around 100 metres elevation, with an unhindered exposure to the sea. Even the lowest-lying vineyards still benefit from the cool maritime winds. With the fresh sea breezes, this maritime climate ensures that the vineyards are kept cool, resulting in late ripening, intense fruit with complex flavours and natural balancing acidity. Lomond’s geological formations are unique; the soils are mostly of sandstone and shale origins, with granite intrusion in sections creating lean, gravelly soils. This marked diversity of soil types and the valley location create distinctively fresh wines. The grapes are hand-harvested in the cool early hours of the morning.
