Wines

Our farm is situated in a terroir basin and specialises in award-winning Shiraz, as well as other handcrafted wines. The soil is formed mainly from decomposed granite as the farm lies on the slopes of the famous Paarl Rock mountain. Nestled between two valleys, Rhebokskloof tends to be slightly cooler than nearby Paarl. It enjoys a cool microclimate making it perfect for the production of top quality wine grapes.

Chardonnay and Viognier are the white wine grape cultivars planted on Rhebokskloof. While the reds are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Shiraz. To boost production and choice, the vineyards are currently undergoing extensive uprooting and renewal.

Our cellar was built in 1989 and is both a spacious and a practical environment conducive to making wines of exceptional quality. In 1999 it was expanded to include an impressive underground barrel maturation cellar, holding up to 600 barrels of 225 litres each.

Our winemaker, Rolanie Lotz, studied Agriculture at Elsenburg College after matriculating from Paarl Girls High School, and completed a Diploma in Cellar Technology in 2001. She worked as the winemaker at Simonsvlei International before joining Rhebokskloof in 2007.
