The tasting room on Stellenbosch Kloof Road is open every day, and booking ahead is advised. The flagship is a Reserve Chenin Blanc, with a DMZ Chenin Blanc alongside it, and Baroque music is played to both the vines and the wines. The name means the morning sun, since the farm is the first part of the Stellenboschkloof valley to catch it.

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
Chardonnay
Serious Chardonnay reached the Cape in the late 1970s in growers' luggage, smuggled in because official channels were too slow.
Theme
Old vines
In South Africa a vine counts as old at 35, and a seal on the bottle can tell you the year it was planted.
