1. A.A BADENHORST
.
AA Badenhorst Family Wines, nestled in the heart of South Africa’s Swartland appellation, is a testament to the art of winemaking deeply rooted in tradition and the unique terroir of Kalmoesfontein farm. With 180 hectares of vineyards in the Siebritskloof region of the Paardeberg mountain, this winery stands as a true representation of South Africa’s vinicultural heritage. The vineyards primarily consist of ancient bushvines, some dating back to the 1950s and 1960s, featuring Chenin Blanc, Cinsault, and Grenache varieties. What sets these vineyards apart is their unirrigated, biologically conscious farming practices.
AA Badenhorst’s commitment to traditional winemaking methods is evident in their whole bunch-handling approach. The red and white grapes undergo minimal intervention, with no crushing or destemming. White grapes are gently transferred to old casks or concrete tanks for fermentation and aging, while the red grapes undergo fermentation in concrete tanks and open wooden kuipe.
2. ATARAXIA
.
Nestled in the heart of the picturesque Hemel-en-Aarde wine-growing area, Ataraxia Wines, also known as “The Skyfields,” truly lives up to its name, which translates to “a serene state of mind, free from worry and preoccupation” in Greek. This exquisite estate is perfectly situated on an elevated rise that offers a commanding view of the surrounding landscape. Hemel-en-Aarde, meaning “heaven and earth” in Afrikaans, is a fitting description for this enchanting location. Ataraxia’s vineyards rest beneath the majestic peak of the Babylon’s Tower mountain range, creating an awe-inspiring backdrop to their winemaking endeavor.
Beyond its breathtaking beauty, Ataraxia boasts some of the most remarkable terroirs that South Africa has to offer, making it a haven for wine enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. A scenic drive from the coastal village of Hermanus leads you to the highest point in these wine lands, where Ataraxia’s Wine Lounge, reminiscent of a chapel, awaits visitors with panoramic vistas of vineyards, valleys, and mountains. From the very beginning, Ataraxia has let the unique soil of their estate guide their grape cultivar choices.
3. CREATION
.
Nestled in the picturesque Hemel-en-Aarde valley, Creation Wines has established itself as a prestigious winery in South Africa. Since its founding in 2002, Creation Wines has gained recognition for producing a diverse range of modern, cool-climate South African wines, including whites, reds, sparkling, and fortified wines, with a particular focus on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The estate’s vineyards benefit from the valley’s cool climate, making it the perfect setting for crafting elegant, refined wines that capture the essence of this unique terroir.
Beyond winemaking, Creation Wines is deeply committed to sustainability and eco-friendly practices. As a member of Integrated Production of Wine (IPW) and EnviroWines, as well as a WWF-SA Conservation Champion, the estate actively promotes environmentally responsible winemaking. Visitors to Creation Wines are encouraged to explore the estate and engage in local hiking and cycling safaris that showcase the region’s distinctive fynbos vegetation.
4. GABRIELSKLOOF
.
Gabriëlskloof stands as the realization of a profound dream for South African Bernhard Heyns, a dream that led him on a years-long search for a piece of land that would truly resonate with him. In 2001, he discovered what was then a canola farm named ‘Avontuur,’ and it was in that moment that everything fell into place. The potential of the site to produce high-quality wines with a unique character became unmistakably evident, and it has only grown stronger over the years. Gabriëlskloof has remained under the ownership and stewardship of the Heyns family ever since, and their family has grown to include local community members who have risen to senior positions at the farm.
The vision at Gabriëlskloof is crystal clear: to craft exceptional wines that authentically reflect the complexity, richness, and diversity of their distinctive terroir. Their unwavering commitment to environmental responsibility is at the forefront of their winemaking philosophy, respecting and preserving the region’s biodiversity at every turn. The challenging soils of Gabriëlskloof may not yield high quantities, but the vineyards on the property have been meticulously cared for since day one.
5. NEWTON JOHNSON
.
In 1995, the Newton Johnson family, led by Dave and Felicity, embarked on a new chapter by moving to the Upper Hemel en Aarde Valley in South Africa. Their passion for winemaking, particularly their enthusiasm for Pinot Noir, has been a driving force behind the transformation of this family-owned property.
Over the years, under the guidance of the succeeding generation, including Bevan, Gordon, and Nadia, the Newton Johnson family has explored the nuances of this grape and the unique characteristics of their vineyards, pushing the boundaries of winemaking in the region. Nestled high in the mountainside of the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, the Newton Johnson Vineyards winery offers a captivating experience for visitors. The estate’s breathtaking location provides magnificent, panoramic views that stretch over the valley and out to the vast Atlantic Ocean. It’s an idyllic setting that encourages guests to savor every sip of their opulent wines and relish delectable cuisine from the estate’s restaurant.
6. STARK - CONDE
.
In the world of winemaking, sometimes, the most extraordinary journeys begin with humble beginnings. Self-taught cellarmaster Jose Conde’s foray into winemaking commenced in the year 2000 when he decided to experiment with his favorite grape variety, Cabernet Sauvignon. As fate would have it, Jose’s father-in-law, Hans Schroder, cultivated what were arguably the finest Cabernet grapes in the region. Armed with basic equipment and a dedication to traditional methods, their maiden vintage produced a mere 2400 bottles. However, against all odds, and to the astonishment of many, their wine achieved the prestigious 5-star rating in the Platters Wine Guide, marking the beginning of a remarkable winemaking journey.
The Jonkershoek Valley, nestled in the Western Cape, provides a pristine backdrop for the cultivation of Cabernet Sauvignon. This region’s high-elevation terrain, generous winter rainfalls, and the purifying Southeaster breeze that sweeps through the valley create the perfect conditions for producing premium grapes. Stark-Condé’s vineyards are farmed organically, with 80% of the estate remaining as rugged, untouched terrain.
7. STEENBERG VINEYARDS
.
Steenberg, South Africa’s first farm established in 1682, has come a long way from its modest beginnings. Located just 20 minutes from the bustling heart of Cape Town, this historic estate offers a tranquil escape that feels worlds away from the modern urban pace. Steenberg’s original Manor House has been meticulously restored and is proudly recognized as a Provincial Heritage Site. Here, the timeless elegance and traditions of the 17th century seamlessly intertwine with the most refined comforts and conveniences of our contemporary era, creating a captivating blend of past and present.
Steenberg’s winemaking philosophy centers around the belief that “wines are grown in the vineyard and then cared for in the winery.” The estate places significant emphasis on sourcing the very best and latest known clones, meticulously matched to the appropriate soils and slopes. Employing environmentally conscious farming practices, Steenberg utilizes non-toxic, natural formulas for pest control and encourages the presence of natural predators to maintain grape health.
8. WELTEVREDE ESTATE
.
The Jonker family’s connection to Weltevrede estate dates back to 1912 when they first set foot on its fertile soil. The visionary founder, Klaas Jonker, left a lasting legacy by planting the region’s first vines, an endeavor that would set the stage for generations of winemaking. Today, Weltevrede proudly maintains the old vines originally cultivated by Klaas, a testament to the enduring family history intertwined with the estate’s very foundations. Over five generations, the Jonkers have tasted the fruits of these very vines, forging a profound connection to the land and the history of Weltevrede.
Situated in the Western Cape of South Africa, a region known for its exceptional biodiversity, Weltevrede is a haven for an array of plant and animal species rarely found elsewhere. The estate’s deep appreciation for the soil and the land’s biodiversity has opened their eyes to the rich tapestry of life that surrounds them. The diverse array of soils on the estate has given rise to a wealth of plant life, mirroring the incredible biodiversity of the Western Cape.
9. CAPAIA WINES
.

Capaia was founded by Ingrid Baroness von Essen in 1997. From 1997 to 2002 the vines were planted, the winery erected and the installation of the wooden fermentation tanks took place. 2003 celebrated the first harvest of Capaia and to make this even more memorable, we received Wine Magazine’s 5 star award for this maiden vintage.
10. VERGELEGEN ESTATE
.
Vergelegen, meaning “situated far away,” is far from ordinary, with a history that stretches back to its founding on February 1, 1700. Over the centuries, this remarkable estate has passed through the hands of some of the world’s most influential explorers and visionaries, each contributing to its transformation into the world-class estate it is today.

The proximity of the Helderberg Mountain range to the ocean is a significant factor shaping the character of Waterford’s wines. The cooling influence of the nearby ocean brings a refreshing quality to the wines, while the warmth of the Stellenbosch region adds depth and richness to their flavor profile.
Owned by the Ord Family and developed under the dedicated guidance of Kevin Arnold, Cellar Master and Managing Partner since 1998, Waterford Estate embodies a sense of simplicity and unpretentious elegance. The estate’s design seamlessly blends with the natural beauty of its surroundings, enhancing rather than detracting from the landscape.
