Biodiversity and conservation also high on the agenda...
Stellenzicht Wines is pursuing excellence through sustainability and regenerative farming
We nurture the vast, micro-climate soil pockets of Stellenzicht to steward and sustain what nature provides each year. Our wines truly are expressions of our terroir.
Our Vineyards
Boasting some of the highest planted vines in the Cape Winelands, Chamonix has around 50 hectares under vineyard.
