Six principles form the core of our philosophy, "Partnership, Potential, Change, Equity, Dignity and Sustainability". We seek to produce wines that will contribute to the lives of the people whose hard work is expressed in each bottle. There are minimum prices set for grapes and an additional percentage of the sales are given back to the community who uses the money to build schools, clinics and other projects to improve their lives. PIEKENIERSKLOOF WINE COMPANY IS A REGISTERED FAIRTRADE PRODUCER.

in the vineyard : The wine is made from 13 to 16 year old trellised vineyards, planted in sandy, loam soils. The vineyards are meticulously farmed and managed to yield below 6 tons per hectare.

about the harvest: Grapes are handpicked.

in the cellar : Grapes were cold soaked for 24 hours. Fermentation is initiated with selected yeast strains and is kept under 26°C. Malolactic fermentation is completed in tank and the wine is matured for 6 months, using French and American oak. Prior to bottling the alcohol level is reduced to less than 0.5% ABV as gently as possible through a specialized process.
