Profitable Boutique Wine Estate

In the 18th century, the Cape's Governor, Willem Adriaan van der Stel and the early settlers planted here the first fruit and grapes along the banks of the Botrivier.

A walk through the vineyards provides a magnificent view of the valley. Sunsets are often spectacular, and there is ample opportunity to watch birds and small mammals.

The excellent terroir with a perfect climate, cool ocean breezes, and rich fertile soils make this valley an ideal place to grow top-quality grapes that produce outstanding wines. 

The boutique winery produces a range of quality award-winning wines under different labels.

The wines are crafted from carefully selected, hand-picked and sorted grapes that are vinified in the winery and matured and bottled on the estate. The Flagship label is reserved for classic wines of exceptional quality. A second label is reserved for new-world-style wines, suitable for early drinking, although they improve with appropriate ageing. There are also several private labels for the owner and third parties.
