Tradouw is situated in the heart of the Little Karoo. The terroir of Tradouw is influenced not only by the soil and climate but also by the unique geography of the Klein Karoo region. The vineyards are surrounded by the Langeberg Mountains, providing a specific topography that shelters the vines from harsh weather conditions and influences the temperature variations. The south-easterly wind pushes against the Langeberg mountains and cools down the air before it transcends down toward the valley. The combination of the semi-arid climate, unique soil composition, and geographical features contributes to wines with a balance of fruitiness, minerality, and a sense of place. Because of the valley’s dry conditions during the growing season, there is much less or no fungus growth, and therefore much fewer fungicides can be sprayed than in other commercial wine-producing areas, which makes sustainable farming so much easier and more environmentally friendly.
