Winegrowing & Vineyards

The grapes for our wines are grown in some of the best wine-producing areas in the Cape. Home vineyards on the foothills of the Helderberg Mountain are planted with classic cultivars 80 to 360 metres above sea level in deep, weathered granite soils. Strict vineyard management ensures the highest quality grapes while keeping a balance with the natural surrounds.

Cover crops are used to prevent soil compaction and increase aeration and water drainage in winter. The vines are trellised to spread the canopy for peak sunlight exposure and to offer protection from prevailing winds. Unproductive shoots are removed (a process called suckering) to promote air circulation, naturally preventing fungal disease.
