The vineyard is located in Breedekloof, a viticultural area to the west of the Breede River Valley, in the Western Cape of South Africa. The grapes are grown in unique sites from older vines which have an average age of 37 years. The nearby Slanghoek Mountains have a moderating effect on the climate in Breedekloof. Afternoon shadows from the mountains shorten the hot days in the region and bring considerably colder evenings. This diurnal temperature variation allows the grapes to cool down during the evening, thus retaining their fresh acidity to balance the ripe, fruit flavours. The vines are grown by a passionate grower who shares the Olifantsberg philosophy and cultivates the vines using sustainable viticulture.
