Location is everything. This perfectly located wine farm, with easy access to all arterial roads, makes travel easy.

The terroir also includes granite soil, with rainfalls of 650 – 700mm’s rain annually. It lies in a bit of a valley, that offers protection from the often-vicious Southeast wind, from the False Bay coast. Harvests deliver 700 – potentially 1200 tonnes of grapes.
The cultivars include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinotage, Shiraz, Chenin Blanc, Colombard, and Sauvignon Blanc, all under irrigation. The age of the vines ranges from 8 – 30 years, the oldest being the Cabernet, which can be re-planted. Currently, the harvest is taken to the award-winning Stellenbosch Hills wine cellar in the Vlottenburg district of the Stellenbosch Winelands, where multi-generational farming skills and total passion for wine-making, create award-winning wines. There are currently 15 producer members. Surrounding wine farms includes, Polkadraai, Skilpadvlei, Saxenburg, Meerlust and others.
