02. Who are we?
Lomond
Lomond, in the Gansbaai area, is situated in the valley of the Uilenkraal River and located at a most southerly latitude -34° 34΄ south. It is one of only a handful of wine farms within the Cape Agulhas appellation of origin. The farm, which derives its name from Mount Lomond at its back, falls within the cool Winkler Zone 2, with relatively little variation in day-night temperatures throughout the year. Located about 8 km from the sea as the crow flies, it is kept cool by the south-westerly and south-easterly winds during the summer months. The prevailing cool weather means the grapes ripen several weeks later than in the Stellenbosch area, with harvesting only taking place towards March.
