On the South Western slopes of the iconic Paarl Mountain lies the beautiful Landskroon Wine Estate. Five generations of passionate winemakers have contributed to making Landskroon one of Paarl's leading wine brands. The current cellarmaster, Paul de Villiers, proudly continues this heritage as the 5th generation of the family at Landskroon.

about the harvest: Grapes were harvested separately at 24°B, destemmed and transferred to fermentation tanks.

in the cellar : After the addition of selected yeasts, the juice, together with the skins, were allowed to ferment at controlled temperatures of 25°C - 28°C. Regular pump overs ensured good colour and tannin extraction. The wines matured for 10 months in 4th, 5th and 6th fill French oak barrels.
