About Chenin Blanc
It's a little known fact, but a fact all the same, that South African Chenin Blanc wines are among the world's finest. It's also a fact that there is a group of visionary South African wine producers who are, not only fast spreading the word, but also continually providing hard evidence by producing Chenin Blanc wines of increasingly remarkable quality.
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".
Biodiversity
Biodiversity and conservation also high on the agenda...
About Us
First of all, wine is made for conversations. For us, wine is an expression of art, designed to be enjoyed and remembered.
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.
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.
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.
Terroir - The Valley and its People
Seamed by two mountain ranges, the Breedekloof valley is nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Klein Karoo.
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.
Focus
As primary producer volume and control over product from vineyard to glass is important to us.
