Along the Helshoogte Pass Highway there is a small winery stirring the wine industry of South Africa with its blend of different cultivars into tasty wines. This small winery was purchased by the Zorgvliet Portfolio on auction and revamped into becoming a force to be reckoned with. Zorgvliet Wine Estate, situated in the Banhoek Valley near the famous town of Stellenbosch, embodies a classic wine culture supported by a strong heritage and modern equipment.

This small winery has over the years received various awards attesting to the quality of the wines it produces. The vineyards boast a range of cultivars consisting of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Viognier, Semillon, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Petit Verdot and Malbec. These cultivars are turned into delicious blends by the winemaking team at this small winery. The ranges that encompass Zorgvliet wines are:

• Zorgvliet Richelle which is the flagship Bordeaux blend,
• Zorgvliet range which represents Zorgvliet Wine Estate's premier products,
• Silver Myn range which is a portfolio of unique wines including Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Viognier, Semillon, and Pinot Noir,
