The vineyard is located on the fertile slopes of the Olifantsberg Mountain Range, where it endures vast diurnal temperature differences and strong winds at altitudes from 250 to 450 meters above sea level. During the winter, the mountain peaks are snow-covered, keeping the vines dormant for longer. Cold winters and the summer winds ensure the grapes' slow ripening, help maintain healthy vines and contribute freshness and elegance to the wines. The soils in the vineyard comprise a unique sandy shale with a clay subsoil, which lends structure to the resulting wine. The Pinotage trellised vines are 11 years old and are farmed sustainably.
