Winery	This wine is made from the old vine Chenin Blanc, planted in 1985. The vineyard is situated at the foot of the Du Toitskloof Pass and is grown in stony, decomposed shale and granite soils. The lowest part of the estate is 220 metres above sea level, climbing to 330m at the highest part. At this altitude, the vines are exposed to strong winds that naturally reduce yields and offer a much-needed cooling influence in Paarl's warm, dry climate. The Chenin Blanc vines are trellised, and the vineyard is manually cultivated, with a commitment to sustainable farming. Natural predators are used instead of pesticides, and the vines are hand-harvested.
