Paul and Susan McNaughton purchased Graceland, an 18 hectare farm on the slopes of the Helderberg in 1990. A ‘red only’ route has been pursued following the soil, climate and slope parameters of the property. 4 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon, 2.5 hectares of Merlot and 3.5 hectares of Shiraz have been planted. Two single varietals (Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon) were launched for the 1998 maiden vintage, with the Shiraz and flagship blend, The Three Graces in 2002.
