Located on the slopes of the Bottelary Hills near Stellenbosch, the estate benefits from varied soils, favourable slopes and cooling maritime influence from False Bay - conditions well suited to producing structured, expressive wines. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1100\" data-end=\"1445\"\u003eNeethlingshof’s Short Story Collection celebrates the estate’s environmental philosophy.
