The Lomond estate is surrounded by indigenous flora known as Fynbos. This single vineyard wine is named after a vulnerable listed species endemic to the Agulhas Region, ‘Leucospermum Patersonii’ or the ‘Silver-Edged Pincushion’. This site was purposely chosen for its specific terroir consisting primarily of sandy loam soils, which offer good drainage, but poor fertility and produce concentrated, aromatic fruit. This is one of the highest vineyards on the farm situated on the south east facing slopes of Ben Lomond, which ensures that the vineyard is cooled by the prevailing summer winds off
of the sea. The breezes blow directly off the ocean in both a south easterly and south westerly direction, providing consistent coolness throughout the summer months, with temperatures seldom reaching above 30°C. This cool microclimate creates a slow ripening period, allowing the grapes to build flavour complexity and to produce naturally balanced wines.
