Darling
Contreberg was established in the early 1800’s by the Dutch East India Company to support passing trade with fresh meat and produce. The farm has been in the Pretorius Versfeld family for most of the last century and currently stretches 352 ha. Wine grape production was started at the end of the decade, in the 90’s, when the first Sauvignon Blanc Bush vines were planted on the farm. Attractions

Here in South Africa the concept has taken somewhat longer to evolve, and for various reasons, not least the fiercely independent mindset of most wine farmers. Attractions
