Our Estate
Waterford Estate is situated in one of the world's most visually arresting pockets of paradise. Located on the rolling slopes of the Helderberg Mountain, leading around to the picturesque Upper Blaauwklippen Valley.
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.
The Vineyards
On the Wildekrans Wine Estate we are extremely fortunate to have a fantastic range of natural elements available to us.
