The inside track

The estate

Somerbosch Wines is a family-owned estate in the Helderberg area of Stellenbosch, renowned for its relaxed atmosphere and innovative ice cream and wine pairings.

Nestled in the Helderberg area of the Stellenbosch region, Somerbosch Wines embodies a relaxed and intimate atmosphere, typical of a working farm under the stewardship of the winemaking Roux family for over half a century. The cool Atlantic sea breeze and other terroir elements contribute to the complex nature of Somerbosch.

Since 1995, Somerbosch has been synonymous with premium winemaking in the region, showcasing the branded premium label “Somerbosch” and the entry-level label “Poker Hill.” The innovative and varied ranges of wines cater to a wide range of palates and enjoy demand locally and in various European countries.
