Lomond Wine Estate

Founded in 2004, Lomond Wine Estate was established in a pristine natural environment. The farm is over 800 hectares, with 350 hectares of that under vine cultivation. Because Lomond is also part of the Walker Bay Fynbos Conservancy, the rest of the farm is preserved for native fynbos. Lomond’s geological formation is unique. A total of 18 different soil types have been identified on the farm, an incredible variety for a wine farm, and one that ensures the production of some truly exciting wines. Altitudes of the wine blocks vary, with some blocks around 50m above sea level, while others are located around 100 m above sea level, with uninterrupted exposure to the ocean breeze. Even the lowest-lying vineyards benefit from the cool maritime breezes, though, with the naturally occurring indigenous vegetation and the terrain’s low hills acting as a filter for the salt-laden sea air.
