Our Range of Unique Wines
Durbanville Hills winery draws its grapes from a group of neighbouring historic farms, mostly established at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries.
History
Alto is a farm with a rich history, befitting its status as one of the icon estates of the Western Cape winelands. The first title deeds date back to 1693, but it was only in 1919 that the farm was given over entirely to vineyard.
The Cellar
Asara’s cellar was originally the old manor house on the estate but was transformed into the wine cellar in 1953. Some of the original old cement fermentation tanks can still be seen today.
About Us
Situated on the south-western slopes of the majestic Simonsberg Mountain, where many award-winning wines are made, Quoin Rock’s terroir is known for producing more complex full-bodied wines, which is partly due to the high red clay content of the soils.
Ideal Soil and Climate
The Allesverloren vineyards creep up the imposing Kasteelberg in the picturesque Riebeek Valley of the Swartland, the vineyards ranging from 170m above sea level to well over 350m with a variance in rainfall of 200mm.
Heritage
La Motte enjoys a rich history dating back to 1695 and has been making wine since the middle of the 18th century.
