Stunningly picturesque, the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley is a majestically mountainous area that flows down to the Atlantic Ocean.
The terroir of this cool climate region benefits from cooling sea breezes off the nearby Atlantic Ocean, resulting in wines of the area having a unique flavour, one that is often compared to French wines produced in Burgundy. The most popular of these are pinot noir and chardonnay. The Hemel-en-Aarde Valley boasts many award-winning estates such as Hamilton Russell, Newton Johnson, Bouchard Finlayson, La Vierge, Southern Right, Creation, Ataraxia, and Whalehaven. The Valley probably has the most 5-star wines per capita in South Africa.
