Deep red soils anchor the vines at Laibach in a firm, sustaining embrace. No irrigation is needed. Laibach's 40 hectares of vineyards are planted on the North-East facing slopes of the Simonsberg that offer an excellent angle for sun exposure, the key to photosynthetic efficiency and flavour development.
The picturesque Laibach vineyards are flanked by the renowned vineyards of Kanonkop, Warwick and Lievland. Ultimately, their wine quality is forever linked to the land where their grapes are grown. Site selection is essential in the making of fine wines, because flavour starts in the vineyards. The Simonsberg terroir with its lean deep red soils (Glovelly, Glenrosa) and cooling maritime winds from nearby False Bay is ideal for red wines of body and complexity.
Laibach try to make wine in the most traditional and natural way while using the most advanced preserving technologies. They try to maximize soft handling and to make the best of what mother nature gives us on this unique viticultural terroir - wines that reflect both the identity of the different grape varieties and the terroir.
Laibach Cellar is open for visits and tastings from 9:00 to 17:00 Weekdays and from 10:00 to 13:00 on Saturdays.
