Conservation
In 1996 Peter Pentz was the first private individual to be awarded the States premier conservation award.
History
Scholtzenhof, one of the very oldest wine farms in the Cape, was originally granted as Zandberg in 1689.
About Webersburg
Webersburg warmly invites you to its elegantly restored Cape Dutch homestead and boutique winery which is nestled against the slopes of the Helderberg Mountains in the heart of the Stellenbosch winelands. The venue is perfect for both relaxed and formal affairs.
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.
Integrity & Sustainability Seal
Sustainable Wine South Africa (SWSA) is the alliance between the Wine and Spirit Board (WSB), the Integrated Production of Wine (IPW) scheme, the Biodiversity & Wine Initiative (BWI) and Wines of South Africa (WOSA). Together these organisations are driving the South African wine industry's commitment to sustainable, eco-friendly production. We are not just advocating green, we are practising it!
Our Vineyards
Boasting some of the highest planted vines in the Cape Winelands, Chamonix has around 50 hectares under vineyard.
Our Philosophy
Our viticulturist and winemaker are passionately involved in maintaining the unique terroir of our vineyards nestled on the slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain.
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.
The Cellar Club
The Cellar Club has been designed to welcome fellow wine lovers into the Ken Forrester "Family". Our aim is to provide our members with hand-crafted quality wines, which is the product of our soil, our vines, our climate & our people.
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.
