The two vineyards that produce the Radford Dale's Flagship Syrah are both planted on granite & clay Koffee Klip soils on the Helderberg slopes; one with 360 degree views over Table Bay (West Coast), False Bay (South Coast) and the backdrop of the jagged Helderberg peaks, the other facing directly over False Bay to the South & South East. Because of the hilly terrain these vineyards are planted on various aspects, but mostly South and South-east facing slopes. Because of the topography of the area, these vines are quite exposed to the cooling South easterly winds during the summer and this brings cool air in from over False Bay that moderates daytime temperatures.
