terroir

Walker Bay is one of the coolest wine growing areas in the Cape.

This cool maritime climate influenced by the cold AtlanticOcean breeze (average 13 C) blows gently up the valley.

The sea breezes cool the vines thereby encouraging slowripening and flavour-rich grapes.

The valley is surrounded and sheltered by a mountain barrier,formed by Galpin Peak (810 meters) and the Tower of Babel(1200 meters), which traps the cloud cover and moisture broughtin from the sea by the prevailing wind.

Summer conditions are consequently warm rather than hot, andwinter conditions are mild and frost-free.

Malmesbury clay shale soil, a duplex structure of stony graveland fine clay shale ensuring moisture retention, ideal for growingpinot noir.

Vines are planted on gentle slopes in a north-south direction,taking advantage of the daily travel of sunlight from east towest and ensures equitable sunlight exposure.
