About our vineyard

As possibly smallest professional winery in the Cape, our vineyard comprises only 2,2 hectares under vines, exclusively planted to Merlot. This comparably small size allows for a caring and environmentally responsible viticulture according the guidelines of good agricultural practice, implementing the latest achievements of modern viticulture, including Precision Viticulture.

Certified by IPW SA (Integrated Production of Wine SA)

Petrus Place is ideally suited for the growing of Merlot grapes:

  • It is situated on the cooler southern slopes of the Polkadraai Hills, and is blessed with deep and highly weathered granite soils.
  • The climate is Mediterranean with dry, sunny summers.
  • The proximity to the coast, with its beautiful direct view to the False Bay, ensures a constant breeze providing the necessary coolness and air humidity during the warm summer months - important for a slow and even ripening.
