The vineyards draw from a mix of decomposed granite, koffieklip and gravelly soils, contributing both structure and mineral detail to the wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"478\" data-end=\"846\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"848\" data-end=\"1360\"\u003eUnder current ownership, the estate has been carefully redeveloped with a clear focus on quality-driven viticulture and modern cellar practices.
