The vineyards are located on the steep valley on the eastern side of Table Mountain. The grapes come predominantly from a block that varies between 67 and 95 metres above sea level, on slopes that are south to southeast facing. The vines are trained on vertical shoot position trellis systems and the pruning, canopy management and harvesting take place by hand. Pest control takes place biologically, and soil health and weed control are managed by a selected mix of winter cover crops. 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, combined with the cool southern slopes and deep mountain soils provide the ideal setting for the production of this top quality wine
