Wine Industry Ethical Trade Association (WIETA)
WIETA was formally established in November 2002. The association arose out of an Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) pilot project in the wine industry.
History
The uniWines Group was formed in 2008 through the vision of a few dedicated directors.
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.
About Us
First of all, wine is made for conversations. For us, wine is an expression of art, designed to be enjoyed and remembered.
The Wines
Ankerman - Meander - Palesa - Groot Eland - Daschbosch
Our Vineyards
Boasting some of the highest planted vines in the Cape Winelands, Chamonix has around 50 hectares under vineyard.
Biodiversity
Biodiversity and conservation also high on the agenda...
Conservation
