Our journey has always been one of experimentation and discovery, in the idealistic pursuit of purity and provenance; the holy grails of fine wine the world-over. Not afraid of shunning  'the norm' we were early champions for the potential of Chenin Blanc, Elgin Pinot Noir, Swartland reds, and maritime influenced Stellenbosch Chardonnay. We are proud to be the first producer in 20 years to plant Gamay Noir, and our Pinotage expressions are increasingly well received by the international sommelier set. 

The Cape’s remarkable geology has guided us, travellers of the generation to discover the individual identities and terroirs of this great viticultural region and the varieties best suited to them. Our vines constantly breathed over by the cool winds of our two epic oceans, Atlantic & Indian. Our wines are proudly site-driven, natural and balanced -because we believe that South African wines should reflect their natural environment, vintage and distinct terroirs. Made using natural yeast fermentations, low or no adjustments, minimal usage of new oak. All of our own vineyards are organically-certified.

Our wines tend to have restrained alcohols and healthy natural acidities, both hallmarks of elegant and refreshing wines, with balance the ultimate purpose. We produce our wines to be enjoyed as they have been throughout history; socially, gastronomically and festively.  They, and we are down to earth.
