The unique semi-desert climate of this region, together with the twin blessings of the Breede River and variations in terrain and soil type combine to make for a high quality and great diversity of wines, including Chardonnay, Colombar and Sauvignon Blanc, as well as rich and flavoursome Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon.
