Stellenbosch Mountain

Stellenbosch Mountain (Afrikaans: Stellenbosberg or Die Groteberg) is a mountain forming a prominent landmark overlooking the town of Stellenbosch in the Western Cape Province of South Africa.

[3] The climate is typically Mediterranean; warm and temperate, classified as Csb by the Köppen-Geiger system.

However, it is generally much cooler and more verdant than other areas in the Western Cape, with annual precipitation at 802mm in the lowlands.

[6] The surrounding lowlands have rich alluvial soils supporting viticulture and other deciduous fruit farms.

[9] Most of the northern and eastern aspects of the Stellenbosch Mountain lie on the Coetsenburg Estate which is not open to the public.
