Stellenbosch Hills

Stellenbosch Hills, as a distinguished wine producer, meticulously sources its grapes from vineyards maintained by 15 independent producers scattered across the renowned Stellenbosch wine region. Situated at the foothills of the Cape Fold Mountain range, this region not only boasts soils ideally suited for viticulture but also enjoys the benefits of ideal microclimates. The unique combination of diverse agricultural soils and a moderate Mediterranean-style climate creates the perfect conditions for nurturing top-quality grapes, which ultimately lead to the creation of award-winning wines.

Stellenbosch Hills processes an impressive 8,000 tons of grapes annually, encompassing a wide spectrum of grape varieties, including Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Pinotage, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Shiraz, as well as lesser-known cultivars like Petit Verdot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Viognier, Semillon, and Chardonnay, all contributing to their exceptional wine portfolio.
