Founded in 1682, Blaauwklippen is one of the oldest wine farms in Stellenbosch. Etched between ancient blue granite boulders on the slopes of mineral-rich mountain soils, we produce authentic wines in harmony with the simplicity of country living.

in the vineyard : The vineyards are situated 200m and 400m above sea level. Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP) trellis systems ensure the forming and preservation of classic Sauvignon blanc aromas along with carefull canopy management. The grapes were harvested at the end of February 2023.

about the harvest: The hand harvested grapes were transported to the cellar in the early hours of the morning

in the cellar : The grapes were pressed as quickly as possible upon arrival at the cellar. Cold alcoholic fermentation at 14-17°C ensured the preservation of typical Sauvignon blanc aromas. Four months of extended lees contact on the fine lees and regular lees stirring after fermentation gave the wine a lush and savoury palate texture.
