WINELANDS
Many contemporary explorers regard these as the worlds most beautiful winelands. The historic charms of graceful Cape-Dutch gables and Victorians verandahs, the modern attractions of glamorous restaurants and internationally acclaimed wines, the allures of the great outdoors, wilderness areas and beaches; all combine to make Cape wine country a visitor’s delight.
Since 1997 a prestigious “internationalization” of Cape wines have occurred. Zelma Long and Plul Freese of California have entered into a joint vineyard venture with Michael Back of Backsberg Wine Farm. The Monseix family of Pomerol have bought a vineyard at Somerset-West. Many other such ventures can be mentioned.
Vineyards;The wine and spirits industry in South Africa is a very important part of the agricultural sector. There are 4500 grape producers with 103 000 ha. under vines. This ranks South Africa 20 th in the world. The average size of the country’s harvest is around 900 million litres ranking it 7th in the world. Exports of South African wine nearly doubled in 1994 to 50 million litres from 23 million in 1991 and doubled again to 100 million litres in 1996.
Viticulture contributes about 30% to the total income from horticulture in the Western Cape. It also ensures a very visible presence of South Africa in international markets.
It is with this and the international interest in the Western Cape Wine Industry that we invite you to get in touch with us and we will find you the farm after your desire.

ESTATE NO.4 REF. NO.WI 253 Area; Western Cape Price; R55 million Size; 600 ha. Water; Dams - 627 259 m/3 Housing; Historic Homestead Other Buildings; Cellar Complex - 1500 ton capacity. Excellent Infrastructure General; Existing Label on Wine Route.The Estate is situated in the heart of the Cape Winelands near Paarl. The Estate's tradition dates back to the late 17th century when the French Huguenot settlers came to the Cape to develop the fledgling wine industry which started in 1655 by Jan van Riebeeck. The vineyards of this estate extend along the slopes of the mountain, facing south towards the Atlantic Ocean. Deep weathered granite soils and cooling afternoon breezes combine to create a microclimate ideally suited to the cultivation of noble grape varieties. Seventy percent of the vineyards consist of red wine cultivars. Award winning Ports are made here and elegant white wines are produced mainly from Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc. Quality is the watchword and the winemakers believe the winemaking process should be kept as natural as possible, without excessive irrigation or addition of chemicals. Low yields from excellent cultivars, expert vinifica- tion and modern winemaking facilities enable the creation of exceptional wines. FOR CURRENCY CONVERTOR-CLICK HERE |
