AWARDS

No, you've got it wrong, 1855 is not the vintage year! Hermanuspietersfontein was established in 1855 and so 1855 Sauvignon Blanc and 1855 Rooiwyn proudly carry this name as members of our family of wines which honour Hermanus. As authentic as the history of our town, the mountains and fynbos around us, the sea and whales for which our coast has become known, these lifestyle wines are set to become good friends... and perhaps just as well-known.
