Perdeberg Wine Awards
These accolades celebrate more than exceptional wines; they recognise the dedication of our winemaking team, the character of our vineyards, and our unwavering pursuit of excellence. From our acclaimed Chenin Blancs to our bold, vineyard-driven expressions and innovative blends, each award reflects Perdeberg’s commitment to crafting wines of distinction. As we celebrate these achievements in our 85th year in the wine industry, we honour a legacy built on generations of expertise, resilience, and passion for winemaking. We look ahead with pride and confidence, ready to continue sharing the Perdeberg story, one glass at a time.
Ken Forrester - Mr. Chenin
Ken Forrester started a career in the Hotel industry with Southern Sun, in the early days of Sol Kerzner, way back in 1977, after a 3-year course in Hotel Management at the Johannesburg Hotel School.
South African Wine
Situated at the Southernmost tip of the African continent, South Africa is a country rich in diversity, steeped in history, and with a bright future ahead of it. Agriculture is one of South Africa's principal industries, and its rich culture of winemaking spans 300 years.
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.
Farm History
Blaauwklippen was founded in 1682 by Gerrit Jansz Visser, but it wasn’t until 1688 that the first vineyards were planted in the fertile soil of the estate. Jump forward to 1899, when famed businessman and politician Cecil John Rhodes became the owner of Blaauwklippen, but only for one day!
Terroir - The Valley and its People
Seamed by two mountain ranges, the Breedekloof valley is nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Klein Karoo.
