The wines

Twenty-six hectares,
eight wines

Everything is grown, pressed and bottled here. Order below and we will pack it in the same cellar you would get married in.

How it is made

Small parcels,
picked by hand

Chenin on the cooler southern slopes, syrah where the ground turns to decomposed granite, and a half-hectare of cabernet franc that we nearly pulled out in 2019 and are very glad we did not.

Nothing here is made in quantity. When a wine is finished it is finished, and the next vintage arrives when it is ready rather than when the calendar says so.

Chenin Blanc · 2024

Veldlicht Chenin Blanc

Old bush vines on the south slope. Quince, wet stone, and enough acid to sit through a long lunch.

Chardonnay · 2023

Nine months in old oak, no new wood at all. Lemon curd, oyster shell, and a finish that keeps going.

R210

A bottle of wine standing in long grass

Rosé · 2025

Syrah, pressed straight to tank. Pale, dry, and the one that disappears fastest at a wedding.

  • Collect from the cellar any weekday between 09h00 and 16h00, or on a Saturday morning if there is no wedding on.
