The vineyards rise along the lower slopes of the Witzenberg mountains, shaped by the wind and the shifting light of the valley. Schist, shale and decomposed granite give structure, perfume and depth to Rhône varieties. Shiraz, Mourvèdre and Grenache are planted across twenty-eight hectares established between 2000 and 2007. A mix of bush vines, stok-per-pale and trellised plantings allows each site to be farmed according to its character. Red Angus cattle support soil health as part of an integrated farming approach. Cool mountain air, long sunlight hours and dry summers naturally limit vigour, with spring fed dams supplying clear mountain water when needed.
