The
Franschhoek valley lies to the southeast of Paarl and is enclosed
on three sides by towering mountains. Soils in Franschhoek are
largely made up of alluvial sandstone and despite the reasonable
amount of rainfall, some irrigation is still required. Franschhoek
has a warm climate, ideally suited to the production of heavy,
robust red wines and rich, fruit-driven white wines.
