Mulderbosch's estate fruit is grown in soils that vary from Malmesbury shale and Table Mountain sandstone to sandy duplex and decomposed granite. The diverse topography includes hills, slopes and valleys. Apart from their bush-vine Chenin Blanc which is left to grow as is, they apply vertical shoot positioning trellising to maximise fruit exposure to the morning sun. Vine rows face south/south-east, to derive the benefit from shade later in the day, and what becomes a relatively cool ambient temperature. Afternoon sea breezes from False Bay, less than 14 km away, also bring down temperatures to make for slow ripening, good acids and richer, more expressive flavours in the grapes.

Additionally, Mulderbosch sources fruit from a small but carefully selected group of highly talented wine growers who follow the same approach to viticulture that they do. Like them, they believe in returning their vineyards to balance naturally and letting nature do most of the work in yielding healthy fruit with flavours that reflect their origin.

Mulderbosch's relationships with their supplier growers go back many years. Not only do they share Mulderbosch's wine-growing principles, but they are as invested in producing top-quality grapes as is Mulderbosch. So committed are they that whenever they can, they prefer to deliver the fruit to the winery in person, rather than delegating the job to someone down the line!

Mulderbosch and their supplier growers are IPW and WIETA-accredited and subscribe to the same eco- and socially-sustainable codes of practices.

Virtually all of Mulderbosch's wines are certified as Wine of Origin Stellenbosch.
