Tastings and cellar tours run here, and the estate has its own hotel and restaurants. Most of the vineyard is planted to red varieties, and the flagship Bell Tower is a Bordeaux-style blend named after the bell tower on the property. The farm dates back more than three centuries, and its old manor house now serves as the cellar.

Cabernet Sauvignon
Stellenbosch grows close to a third of South Africa's Cabernet Sauvignon, cooled by afternoon breezes off False Bay.

Historic estates
The date in a Cape Dutch gable marks when that gable was made, which is not always when the house was built.
