Winemaking in the valley dates back to the 1700’s when the Citrusdal Valley was the major gateway to the interior for explorers, who paused to sample the ‘smakelijke druiven’ (delectable grapes) of local vineyards. A 1775 inventory of one of the oldest farms lists ‘leaguers of wine’ and vine pruning equipment.
Today exceptional wines are still made from grapes cultivated, not only in the valley, but from a vast climatically variable area, stretching from Moutonshoek near Piketberg in the south to the mountain vineyards of Piekenierskloof and the Cederberg.

The sheltered valley floor is ideal for the production of sweeter white varieties and fortified wines, for which the area has become justifiably famous.
Higher-lying vineyards in the mountains surrounding the valley contributes grapes with unusual concentrates of extracts from which wines of exceptional quality is produced. Thriving in a terroir equal to the very best in South Africa, these grapes are hand-picked from mostly bush vines growing in sandy soil in vineyards 600 meters above sea-level, sustained only by natural rainfall and caressed by cool, moist breezes from the Atlantic Ocean.

Established in 1957 we aim to create an enjoyable experience for all to savour: the elegance, beauty and balance of our wines about which we are so passionate!
