Why it's worth your time
Polished, expensive, and quietly serious about Bordeaux-style reds. A grand tasting room and a good lunch; come if you want the most 'Château' experience in the Cape.
What we love
The grand cellar and the Bordeaux-style reds made in a Bordeaux manner.
What to know
A joint venture between the South African Rupert family and Baroness Philippine de Rothschild of Mouton Rothschild — the first partnership of its scale between SA and French wine royalty.
