Discover the jewels of the Cape
Lutzville Cape Diamond Vineyards are nestled
on the banks of the Olifants (Elephant’s)
River, where it flows into the diamond rich
ocean of the South African West Coast. A few
miles downstream, the Atlantic Ocean’s
bracing Benguela current brings cool breezes
to create perfect conditions for our brilliant,
multi-faceted fine wines.
The area has been blessed with ideal soils for producing
fine wines: much sought-after gravelly Karoo type
soils cover the slopes, and sandy, alluvial soils
lie closer to the river. These combine with the meandering
nooks and crannies of the twisting Olifants River,
to form micro-climates which we can exploit for the
special needs of individual grape varietals. |
