Our Primo Pinotage was harvested from a bushvine site located on the Fairview farm. The
vines grow under dryland conditions in a deep duplex soil (well drained sand and clay) with
a laterite subsoil that offers high water retention capacity. The vineyards were planted in
1998 with 1.2m spacing between the vines. The vines are carefully suckered in summer
(removing unnecessary shoots) and the crop was reduced to one or two bunches per shoot,
depending on the vigour of each vine. This resulted in a balanced crop to achieve
concentration of flavour and texture in the wine.
