Tastings run on a terrace looking over the vineyards towards the Helderberg mountains, and the restaurant changes its chef's menu weekly with the seasons. The estate also has an art gallery, a boutique and an indoor equestrian arena with paddocks, set among indigenous gardens.

The stories behind what you will taste here.
Grape
Chenin Blanc
For three centuries South Africans called it Steen, until a Stellenbosch professor showed in 1963 that it was the Loire's Chenin Blanc.
Grape
Shiraz
Shiraz or Syrah? Same grape. The name on the label hints at the style, but there is no rule.
Area
The Helderberg
The Helderberg is not an official ward, so its wines say Stellenbosch on the label. The sea breeze from False Bay is its signature.
