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 Philosophy
Our viticulturist and winemaker are passionately involved in maintaining the unique terroir of our vineyards nestled on the slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain.
Cellars
uniWines Vineyards has three cellars; Daschbosch, Groot Eiland and Nuwehoop.
About us
Gently nestled on the slopes of the Stellenbosch Mountain, Blaauwklippen is one of the oldest wine farms in South Africa, dating back to 1682. The name Blaauwklippen comes from the Dutch word meaning "blue rocks".
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!
Cellar and Vineyards
The farm is situated in a narrow valley in the Kleinriver Mountains, southernmost mountain range in Africa.
The Pebbles Story
The Pebbles Project was established in 2004 to offer support to children with special educational needs, particularly those whose lives are affected by alcohol in some way, in the Western Cape of South Africa.
Biodiversity & Wine Initiative (BWI)
The BWI is a pioneering partnership between the South African wine industry and the conservation sector.
About La Motte
La Motte was acquired in 1970 by the late Dr. Anton Rupert, an internationally respected industrialist who established a global business empire, and was held in high regard as a committed conservationist. Dr. Rupert and his art-devoted wife Huberte also played an immense role in the preservation of art.
Vineyards and Winemaking
The Pentz family identified the best 120 Ha of well drained clay soils to plant 122 Ha of wine grapes.
