We focus on Chenin Blanc and Pinotage only. We believe that these varieties are best suited to our soil and we also believe that if we focus, we are able to produce the best possible wine that we can. We have four different interpretations of these wines.
Our wines cater to a diverse range of palates and preferences, offering something for everyone. Whether you seek approachable, easy-drinking wines or prefer to indulge in the complexity of our premium offerings, we have different ranges that cater to varying tastes and experiences.
Each range undergoes distinct processes tailored to highlight the unique characteristics of the grapes and the terroir. From the vineyard to the cellar, our winemaking team employs specialised techniques to ensure that every bottle embodies the utmost quality and complexity.
