The vineyards are located on the steep valley on the eastern side of Table Mountain. The grapes come predominantly from a block between 67 and 95 metres above sea level on south to southeast-facing slopes. The vines are trained on vertical shoot position trellis systems, and the pruning, canopy management, and harvesting occur by hand. Pest control takes place biologically, and a selected mix of winter cover crops manages soil health and weed control. The climate is Mediterranean, with cooling breezes from the Atlantic Ocean, encouraging balance and complexity in the grapes. The average rainfall is approximately 1,100mm per annum. The soil types vary from deep red clay soil to red-brown loamy soil, both from granitic origin. The climate, with the cool southern slopes and deep mountain soils, provides the ideal setting for producing this top-quality wine.
