Meet the Winemaker
WS Visagie grew up on a wine farm on the West Coast of South Africa and after completion of his studies in viticulture and oenology extended his studies to the USA, France and Germany.
Cellars
uniWines Vineyards has three cellars; Daschbosch, Groot Eiland and Nuwehoop.
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.
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.
Background
Kleine Zalze is an award-winning winery situated in the heart of the Cape Winelands, just two miles from Stellenbosch. Winemaking has taken place on our estate on a small scale since 1695 but it was in 1996, when Kobus Basson and his family purchased the property, that the modern Kleine Zalze was born.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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".
