La Couronne Wine Estate is situated at the south-eastern most end of the Franschhoek valley some 80km from Cape Town. The Estate’s high eastern facing slopes provide for natural protection from the harsh African sun. The cool breezes over the high vineyards further ensure the grapes enjoy a long warming period.

Replanting of the estate commenced 10 years previously, giving careful consideration to variety and the clone of the rootstock. Given the naturally good weather, high aspect of the slope, excellent soil conditions and the great care taken in matching the vineyard to these conditions, the estate has become known to produce some of the highest quality grapes in the Franschhoek and Paarl valleys.
