"If you've worked with vines your whole life you get to know the exceptional ones from the good ones. I saw a specific batch of Pinotage in our nursery and it was clear that we needed to plant them. That was in the year 1994..."  - Jannie Bosman, Seventh generation.

Now, over 26 years later, this Pinotage vineyard has proven itself to consistently produce fruit that forms the basis of award winning wines that would make Abraham Izak Perold, descendant of Wellington and the progenitor of this indigenous cultivar, very proud.
in the vineyard : We utilize grapes from two vineyards planted with vines from our Leliefontein nursery. The first being our Hexberg vineyard which is the oldest red grape vineyard used in the production of all of our wines. The second and younger vineyard, Haasland, gives us some exceptional fresh fruit flavours.
in the cellar : Great care is taken to preserve the stunning fruit quality. Innoculation after de-stemming; punch-downs and pump-overs to extract colour and flavour and then maturation in small (225L) and larger (500L) oak casks of American (40%) and French (60%) origin.
