All their wines are produced from grapes grown on their farm. Approximately 220 tons are utilised for De Meye. The rest is sold off to various co-operatives and neighbouring farms. Their wines speak of modern vineyard management, of care taken from the vineyard to the cellar, of respect for their environment and of attention to detail.
All grapes are handpicked and sorted to ensure top quality wines by using superior grapes. The climate of their region is classified as Mediterranean with a precipitation figure on average of 650mm per annum.
The vineyards are situated on the western part of the Muldersvlei region, north of Stellenbosch, facing southeast with a cool westerly wind during the ripening period. The rich, fertile soil contributes to ideal conditions for healthy and premium quality grapes.
The total production of bottled stock at De Meye amounts to less than 14 000 cases, of which 80% is red wine and 20% white wine and rosé. They have two ranges available - De Meye, the premium label and Little River, their value-for-money label.
