Berg River Valley 

The climate is not totally dissimilar to the Drakenstein Mountain area, but the vineyards are less prone to wind damage. The soils are mostly sandy soils of Table Mountain sandstone origin and, whereas the granite based soils of the mountain slopes are generally better for reds, these sandy alluvial soils tend to be excellent for fruity white wines. The vineyards are quite protected from the elements and also benefit from an adequate water supply, which means that the wine profile is more consistent from one vintage to the next. In good years vineyards on the higher slopes can produce more elegant wines, but we can always depend on the fruitiness of the grapes from the valley vineyards.
