You don’t need smoke and mirrors to make great wine. You need good earth, good air, good weather, good fruit and good people.

Our goal is to make the best possible wines, without all the hype and swagger. We don’t do things because that’s how they’ve always been done. We do whatever is needed to make a wine that speaks for itself and especially where it’s from.

If you want the best wine in every bottle, you need to grow your vines in the best location for the task. That’s why we don’t grow all the grapes in one spot.

The land tells us what nature likes best; we follow the wisdom of the earth rather than the whim of we mere mortals.

Many producers make wines to win prestigious awards, but we prefer for people to buy into the virtues of our wines and what we stand for.

Our wines don’t chase trophies, but they’re often more complex and balanced than the ones that do. Our consumers love them for their attitude and taste. And that’s all the recognition we need.

We don’t just work hard growing grapes and turning them into wine. We also work hard to care for the land and the people involved in the process. 

In 2007 we established the Land of Hope Education Trust; we use 50% of the gross profit from our Land of Hope range to educate our previously disadvantaged employees, especially their children and dependents

We were early and passionate champions of Chenin Blanc in South Africa. Similarly of the Gamay grape which produces a lip-smacking lighter red.

Because we believe that these varietals thrive more naturally in South Africa and have far stronger potential to produce superior wines. Taste one of ours and make up your own mind.
