Bellevue
The Bellevue vineyard produced the world's first commercial Pinotage. The Morkel family helped make Pinotage the iconic grape variety of South Africa. Bellevue Wine Estate is located in the Stellenbosch wine region of South Africa. Today it is run by Dirkie Morkel, who has transformed the old estate into a state-of-the-art wine cellar with all the latest machinery and resources. Bellevue Wine Estate has some of the oldest vineyards in South Africa and uses eco-friendly techniques to protect their vines and the environment.
Boschkloof
The Latin motto "inconcessum persequor" surrounding the Grail on their emblem translates to "I pursue the unattainable". Among the slopes of South Africa's beautiful Stellenbosch Valley, the Borman family seeks to perfect the art of winemaking. Established in 1995 by Jacques Boreman and named after the ravine, or 'kloof', at the edge of their estate. Originally, the farm's vines consisted mainly of Cape Riesling, but Jacques decided to eliminate this and plant better suited grape varieties like Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Today, Boschkloof is best known for its Syrah, particularly the vintage called Epilogue. It is the first South African estate to obtain a 98+ rating from Tim Atkins.
De Trafford
One of the most popular areas in South Africa. Run by David and his wife Rita, inspired by the best Bordeaux estates (David worked for several years at Château Pétrus). Located deep in the Blaauwklippen Valley, at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by pristine and wild nature. Their philosophy is to bring out the unique terroir in each of their wines.
Diemersdal
One of the oldest vineyards in Cape Town, founded in 1698, this enchanting estate is just waiting to welcome you. Diemersdal does everything it can to preserve nature in their farm and produce their wine sustainably and ethically. It is currently one of the 42 champion vineyards of the WWF association. An ethical perspective, which is reflected for example in the absence of irrigation of their vines
Harry Hartman
This group of Dutch-British friends who love South Africa decided to live their passion by leaving their daily routine to launch into wine production. Freed from vine cultivation and purchasing their grapes from the best estates in the Cape region, they entered into a partnership with one of the most fashionable “winemakers” of the moment: Tongai Joseph Dhafana. This Zimbabwean refugee has been highly noticed several times in blind tasting competitions. Perhaps because of his blindness, he developed a special affinity for taste and smell from an early age. This allowed him to become one of the first globally recognized sommeliers from the African continent.
La Bri
Located in Franschhoek, the cradle of South African viticulture. Legend has it that the name La Bri comes from French Huguenots, descendants of Labory. Settled on the valley floor with different soil types ranging from sand to rich alluvial soils. Modernized in 2008, the estate is today one of the most equipped for the production of high-precision wines. Each of its wines is linked to a South African flower symbolizing the characteristics of the wine it dresses.
Lemberg
On the Swartland border, the Tulbagh wine region has remained relatively unknown to the general public. Lemberg is one of 10 areas in this region. Its wines are mineral thanks to the unique soil of Tulbagh, which allowed Lemberg to specialize in Syrah and... Harslevelu, a white grape variety from Hungary. A small estate, it is run by Suzanne, who has 3 large dogs. These also give their name to the estate's emblematic wines. Close to the earth, the estate aims to be respectful of the environment and strives to promote the Tulbagh terroir internationally.
Piekenierskloof
The Piekenierskloof estate, located in the Citrusdal Mountains, north of Swartland, is known for its magnificent plateau providing an ideal natural environment for viticulture. At 750 meters above sea level, the plateau's climate is characterized by warm days and cool nights, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex fruity flavors. Ungrafted vines planted in the 1950s are still used to produce Piekenierskloof's Fairtrade wine range.
Riebeek Valley
RAAR, symbolizing the rare and exceptional, embodies a passion for lesser-known grape varieties and intuitive winemaking. Located in the Riebeek Valley, the estate is dedicated to producing wines that showcase the expressive character of their vineyards, with a particular emphasis on minimal winemaking methods to preserve the authenticity of the aromas.
