Rolling grape slopes that thrive in untamed, wild beauty can be found in the scenic Riebeek Valley in the Swartland region. The Riebeek Cellars Collection of wines produced in these vineyards is the legacy of generations who have cared for these vines under challenging dry-land circumstances. Shiraz, Chardonnay, and Chenin Blanc are among the varieties that do well in the area.

Wine

In the past five years, Riebeeck Cellars has made substantial investments in their vineyards and production methods, aiming to enhance the quality of the esteemed Riebeek Cellars Collection continuously. Their utmost focus is on selecting and nurturing only the finest grapes from the vineyards, dedicated exclusively to the Riebeek Cellars Collection. Each wine in this range is meticulously crafted from a careful selection of two or three vineyards, each tailored to meet the unique characteristics of the specific wine.

The winemaking team consistently invests significant resources into these vineyards to ensure a continuous improvement in quality. The Riebeek Cellars Collection proudly represents the W.O. Swartland region, as they strongly believe that having a “credible” provenance is the ultimate luxury.

Dining

While Riebeeck Cellars does not feature an on-site restaurant, guests have the delightful option to craft their own personalized cheese and olive platter. Explore our selection of locally produced cheese, olives, and cured meats to assemble a delectable platter that perfectly complements our wines and enhances your tasting experience.
