Winery | Leeuwenkuil is situated in the triangle between Malmesbury, Paarl and Durbanville. The Atlantic Ocean lies 20 miles to the west, which has a significant cooling and moderating effect on the Mediterranean climate. The rolling hills average around 140 metres above sea level. However, the superior influence on the wine comes from the various soil formations, namely shale, schist, granite, and iron stone. These ancient soils vary greatly in the percentage of clay, mineral content and organic matter. The grapes for this rosé are mostly grown in clay-rich shale, resulting in a wine with substance and moderate acidity. The oldest vineyards are low-density bush vines; this training method best handles dryland conditions. A mixed cover crop is planted during early winter and ploughed in mid-spring. All pruning, suckering and harvesting actions take place by hand. Exposure to spring and summer winds creates a healthy environment with little intervention to keep vines healthy. |
