Our Farm
Steeped in history and boasting some of the highest planted vineyards in the Cape, Chamonix is set amongst 300 hectares of pristine natural beauty on the Eastern slopes of the Franschhoek mountains.
Vineyards and Winemaking
The Pentz family identified the best 120 Ha of well drained clay soils to plant 122 Ha of wine grapes.
Leopard's Leap - Our Story
Leopard's Leap was conceptualised at the turn of the century by winemaker and businessman Hein Koegelenberg, with guidance from his late father in law, internationally renowned industrial leader Dr. Anton Rupert.
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.
The History of Nederburg Wine Estate
Our history dates back to 1791, when German immigrant Philippus Wolvaart acquired 49 hectares of land in the Paarl Valley. He named his property Nederburgh, in honour of the VOC commissioner, Sebastian Cornelis Nederburgh. Later, the ‘h’ was dropped from the spelling of the farm’s name and it became Nederburg as it is known today.
Conservation
In 1996 Peter Pentz was the first private individual to be awarded the States premier conservation award.

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.
