Property Details

In the 18th century, the Cape's Governor, Willem Adriaan van der Stel and the early settlers planted here the first fruit and grapes along the banks of the Botrivier. A walk through the vineyards provides a magnificent view of the valley. Sunsets are often spectacular, and there is ample opportunity to watch birds and small mammals. The excellent terroir with a perfect climate, cool ocean breezes, and rich fertile soils make this valley an ideal place to grow top-quality grapes that produce outstanding wines. The boutique winery produces a range of quality award-winning wines under different labels. The wines are crafted from carefully selected, hand-picked and sorted grapes that are vinified in the winery and matured and bottled on the estate. The Flagship label is reserved for classic wines of exceptional quality. A second label is reserved for new-world-style wines, suitable for early drinking, although they improve with appropriate ageing. There are also several private labels for the owner and third parties. * Location: On the banks of the Botrivier - Van Der Stel Pass Road - Vyeboom suburb of Grabouw - Regional Division of Caledon - Western Cape - South Africa * Size: 24.2380 Ha on 2 diagrams * Vineyards: ± 12.43 Ha (4.62 Ha Shiraz + 4.52 Ha Chardonnay + 0.36 Ha Grenache + 0.57 Ha Viognier + 1.22 Ha Pinot Noir + 0.6 Ha Chenin Blanc + 0.53 Ha Mourvèdre) All the vines were planted between 2006 – 2024, trellised and under drip irrigation Harvest: average 100 tons All the grapes are vinified in the estate’s cellar * Buildings Winery: ± 320 m² - Capacity ± 100 Ton Tasting room - Office - Fermentation - Maturation and Storage Main House: 3 bedrooms + 2 bathrooms Grey House: 2 bedrooms + 1 bathroom White House: 1.5 bedrooms + 1 bathroom Labourers cottages accommodating 6 people New shed for farm implements + workshop + garage + storage * Water: Water Rights from the Hooiveld dam - sufficient for irrigation Borehole Small dam * Wine Business: Labels: 2 regular ranges and several private labels Flagship Label: Pinot Noir, Viognier, Chardonnay, Shiraz and Chenin Blanc Second Label: Chardonnay, Shiraz and Shiraz Rosé Private labels: Shiraz, Rosé, Blends Wine Production: ± 14 000 cases (6 bottles) 40 % Red - 45 % White - 15 % Rosé * Movables: Farming implements/vehicles Equipment, fixtures and fittings in the winery * Staff: Farm Manager/Winemaker Consultant/winemaker 5 labourers: Average age 43 years old - All working on the farm - All have life rights in the Tenure Act - Casual workers during harvest time * Ownership: The property and the wine business are owned by a company which company: Owns the property and all improvements thereon Owns the movables (farming implements, winery equipment ….)
