THE VINEYARD

WINE

Whether

With

The history of Stellenbosch and its surrounds is as full bodied, rich and complex as its most famous varietal, Pinotage, rooted in the town’s soil.

The first recorded history of Stellenbosch can be traced back to 1679. Then Governor of the Cape, Simon van der Stel, established a settlement on the banks of the Eerste River, calling it Stellenbosch (which literally translates as Van der Stel’s bush). Prior to this, the area was home to various indigenous communities.

The newcomers soon identified Stellenbosch as an excellent place to settle. The fertile soil and balmy climate had great potential for agriculture. Produce were grown and transported to Cape Town to supply the passing ships. The Dutch soon cottoned on to the fact that the soil was fantastic for meeting another need – the thirst of the settlers. Soon, the hills and valleys surrounding Stellenbosch were planted with vines.

Experienced vintners were called in and, perhaps somewhat surprisingly, excellent quality wines were produced. Today, Stellenbosch wines still easily hold their own against other global wine producing regions.

Stellenbosch’s second, but certainly not only claim to fame, is as a centre of learning. School education was introduced in 1685 and the establishment of the Theological Seminary of the Dutch Reformed Church, firmly established higher education in town.

The town’s academic excellence can be tracked from the founding of the Stellenbosch Gymnasium, later the Victoria College and in 1918 the Stellenbosch University was instituted to become one of the leading universities in Africa.

The university has not only produced hundreds of achievers in the academic and business fields and political leaders, but also rugby Springboks, including the legendary Dr Danie Craven as well as numerous national sports stars.

The history of Stellenbosch has been beautifully preserved. Many of the earliest buildings that date back to 1689 still stand on the historic wine farm of Muratie. The Dutch, Georgian and Victorian architecture of the town centre speaks to the area’s three centuries of recorded history. These have been sensitively restored, shaded by the centuriesold oak trees that line the streets, set to stand the test of time.

In 1971 Stellenbosch became the first wine region in South Africa to establish a wine route as an organised network of wineries at which the tourist could experience the product of the vine and tune into the soul of the region’s winelands.

The Stellenbosch Wine Routes currently provide the largest co-ordinated network of wineries, each offering a unique cellardoor experience for the wine-lover and tourist.

Today, Stellenbosch is one of South Africa’s preferred tourist destinations, renowned not only for its wines, but its university, cuisine, art, sport, hospitality and culture.

HOW TO PLAN YOUR DAY ON THE WINE ROUTE

We gladly share the following guidelines and tips with you to ensure that your visit will be enjoyable and memorable. These are guidelines only. Each cellar may operate on a different system.

Where to start

1. Consult this guide and make a list of the wineries and activities you wish to experience.

2. Decide which cellar you wish to visit first.

3. You will need at least one hour for each farm you visit.

4. Try to join a cellar tour (normally in the mornings). You will find it most informative, entertaining and interesting. Cellar tours during harvest time give you the opportunity to see how grapes are processed in the cellar. February is peak harvest time.

5. Consult the fold-out map provided.

6. Decide where you want to enjoy lunch. We suggest you arrive at your lunch venue between 12:30 and 14:00 as many kitchens close at 15:00.

7. Arrive at your last cellar at least one hour before closing time to ensure you can still taste their wines.

8. Appoint a designated driver or invest in a tour opportunity.

I’m here, what now

1. Some wineries offer free tastings, but most request a tasting fee.

2. Each cellar has a limit to the amount of wine you may taste. Ask the tasting room assistant.

3. Taste dry white wines first, proceed to red wines and sample sweeter wines last. Sparkling wines and Cap Classiques can be tasted and enjoyed between wine types to clean your palate.

The tasting order will allow your palate to progress naturally.

4. Do not swallow all wines tasted! Taste and spit out in the spittoons provided.

5. Smoking is not allowed in tasting rooms and some wineries are completely smoke-free.

6. Some wineries may serve you at tables and others may only serve at the tasting counter. Ask your tasting room assistant.

How to purchase wine

1. Most cellars allow you to buy mixed cases of wine.

2. Wine can be delivered to your door on request. Ask the tasting room assistant for delivery options.

3. Most cellars offer fragile packaging, especially when shipping overseas.

4. Remember, wine is a perfect gift from our region.

Book a tour and relax

Book a tour and let the tour guide show you the best in the area. Most tours are very affordable and let you enjoy a relaxed day on the wine route. Tour guides are experienced and have good relations with the wine farms to ensure they tailor make a tour that you’ll remember forever. See our section on Trips & Tours in this booklet.

Bottelary Hills

PINK VALLEY

YONDER HILL

The Bottelary Hills Renosterveld Conservancy, home to a host of endangered fauna and flora can be found in this area. Although the smallest in the world, the Cape Floral Kingdom, is the richest of the world’s six floral kingdoms. The mountainous terrain, good rainfall, deep well-drained soils and diversity of terroir are key contributors to making this a premium viticultural area. The area is home to popular wineries like Hartenberg, Beyerskloof and Villiera.

FLAGSTONE

Helderberg

The Helderberg sub route is home to some of the oldest wine farms in South Africa. The area stretches from Somerset West to the edge of Stellenbosch and in this area lies the Golden Triangle, a top wine growing area. The cooling effect of the moisture laden sea breezes from nearby False Bay, combined with excellent soil structures, form ideal conditions for growing noble varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Shiraz, Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc. The moderating effect of the Atlantic Ocean results in cool afternoons and evenings that are ideal for growing

The Stellenbosch Berg (Mountain) sub route encompasses several well-known estates and private cellars, and includes the Jonkershoek Valley.

NeIL eLLIs WINes

THE PHILOSOPHY: The source of distinctive wines is quality grapes, therefore the vintner’s work begins in the vineyards. Vines vary greatly in their soil, climatic and topographical requirements and no single vineyard can satisfy the needs of all grape varieties. With this in mind, we select vineyards where individual varieties excel. Emphasis placed on caring viticultural practices by dedicated growers, together with careful winemaking, contributes to this pursuit of excellence in the art of winemaking.
