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.
About Durbanville Hills
The unique location of Durbanville Hills' cellar a mere 20 minutes from Cape Town's city centre, offers not only a spectacular view of Table Mountain and Table Bay, but also an extraordinary terroir that stabilises temperatures and eliminates extremes of heat and cold.
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".
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.
Leopard's Leap Wines
By sourcing its grapes from the best vineyards in different regions of South Africa's Cape Winelands, Leopard's Leap is able to produce a wide selection of wines of exceptional quality, for both the local and international markets - superb easy-drinking wines that offer affordable enjoyment for any occasion.
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!
Focus
As primary producer volume and control over product from vineyard to glass is important to us.
About Webersburg

Background
