Decades of experience in the field of vine growing, the know-how in choosing just the right terroir and vineyards where only small selections of our best grapes are chosen to reach this cellar goal – to produce wines that are true to its origin and excites our customers.

Our wines are nurtured long before the grape is born. The fruit is gently handled and grapes are picked and sorted by hand. Hereafter the philosophy of minimal intervention is adhered to because the main aim is to allow the quality of the fruit to stand proud.

Our skilful winemaker Corlea Fourie brings with her the soft feminine touch to our wines. Her dedication, passion and attention to detail are evident in the wines she makes.
