Our Estate and Vineyards
Bask in the beauty of Noordhoek’s sun-drenched slopes, where our vines grow in harmony with nature and legacy lives in every glass.
Explore Our Unique Terroir
Our distinct coastal location is at the soul of our wines. The sea breezes and granite-rich soil of the Cape shape grapes with exceptional character, which are hand-harvested with care from our historic vineyards.
The harmony between the land and climate produces wines with a distinct character, characterised by crispness, minerality, and exquisite richness. Each varietal and vintage embodies our philosophy of minimal intervention and expressive winemaking, allowing the true essence of our terroir to shine through in every glass, from our home to yours.
Our World Class Wines
Crafted by our family to be savoured by yours.
From vine to vintage, each bottle embodies our commitment to authenticity. Sustainably farmed and nurtured in our cellar, our wines reflect the elegance of the land and the legacy that Alexander left us.
