Tastings at Weltevreden run every day, from a guided flight to a premium option that adds a walk past sculptures by Ruhan Janse van Rensburg. The short range of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Rosé and Shiraz is named after Bertha, the mother of the Bezuidenhout family who bought the estate. The homestead is a National Heritage Monument, with the Jonkershuis Restaurant and guest accommodation on site.

Vergelegen's Schaapenberg block sits about 6.5 kilometres from False Bay, facing straight into the wind that keeps the wine fresh.
Grape
Shiraz
Shiraz or Syrah? Same grape. The name on the label hints at the style, but there is no rule.
Theme
Historic estates
The date in a Cape Dutch gable marks when that gable was made, which is not always when the house was built.
