16.3 ha Farm in Northern Paarl

Boutique wine producer creating premium, innovative wines. A unique opportunity to become the new owner of a boutique wine producer well known for creating premium, innovative wines. First-to-market globally with the unique white version of the Pinotage grape varietal, the niche winery also produces four ranges of red, white and rosé wines, to suit a variety of tastes and budgets. Wines are sold directly from the tasting room on the estate and via resellers across South Africa and internationally. Regular fun food-and-wine events hosted on the farm ensure a loyal local clientele and provide another income stream.

The estate is ideally positioned in a spectacular scenic area within a distinctive terroir at the foot of the Klein Drakenstein mountains. The spectacular mountainous backdrop provides a wow factor to visitors, and the estate lies in the heart of the attractive Cape Winelands area. Given the central location and easy accessibility, there is potential to diversify income by creating a function venue and utilising the accommodation options in the heritage buildings on the estate.
