History
The uniWines Group was formed in 2008 through the vision of a few dedicated directors.
Our History
1808 - The Napoleonic Wars were uniting Europe - French troops occupied Rome and Madrid - Russia had conquered Finland and the dreaded Spanish Inquisition had finally been abolished. Beethoven presented to the world his Fifth and Sixth Symphonies and America banned the importation of slaves from Africa.
Background
The Pentz family, Nick Pentz and sons Peter and Josh are committed to producing exceptional wines that showcase the estate's unique terroir and history, with three generations working together.
Stellenzicht Wines is pursuing excellence through sustainability and regenerative farming
We nurture the vast, micro-climate soil pockets of Stellenzicht to steward and sustain what nature provides each year. Our wines truly are expressions of our terroir.
History
Scholtzenhof, one of the very oldest wine farms in the Cape, was originally granted as Zandberg in 1689.
Fairtrade
Fairtrade was introduced to ensure a better deal for growers and small-scale producers in developing countries. These people have often found that they are unable to obtain a fair price for their products because of their remoteness or size of operation.
Cellars
uniWines Vineyards has three cellars; Daschbosch, Groot Eiland and Nuwehoop.
About Us
First of all, wine is made for conversations. For us, wine is an expression of art, designed to be enjoyed and remembered.
Vineyards
For the last 100 years or so, quality grapes have been delivered to De Helderberg Co-op, but in 1994 we pressed a small quantity of our Sauvignon Blanc grapes.
About Durbanville Hills
The unique location of Durbanville Hills' cellar a mere 20 minutes from Cape Town's city centre, offers not only a spectacular view of Table Mountain and Table Bay, but also an extraordinary terroir that stabilises temperatures and eliminates extremes of heat and cold.
