Wine Industry Ethical Trade Association (WIETA)
WIETA was formally established in November 2002. The association arose out of an Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) pilot project in the wine industry.
History
The uniWines Group was formed in 2008 through the vision of a few dedicated directors.
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.
The Ken Forrester Wine Club
We offer our exclusive members the opportunity to enjoy our award-winning wines in the comfort of their own homes. As a club member, you gain access to limited edition vintage releases and pre-releases of our most popular wines.
Cellars
uniWines Vineyards has three cellars; Daschbosch, Groot Eiland and Nuwehoop.
Perdeberg Group
At Perdeberg we strive to supply the world market with the best quality wines at any given price point. We aim to be a complete solution to any customer through our supply network of grapes and wines. We value long-term relationships and seek to establish valuable, multi-faceted connections beyond the standard.
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.
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!
