Nestled in the breathtaking Banhoek Valley near Stellenbosch, Zorgvliet Wine Estate finds itself in the hub of the South African wine industry. Here the winemaking culture spans more than three centuries and Zorgvliet embraced this tradition. Today we bring you wines to suit any taste, whether you’re an avid connoisseur or a new adventurer in the exciting world of wine.
In fact Zorgvliet takes special interest in new wine consumers, because we believe in a spirit of growth and innovation: although the Zorgvliet Estate dates back to 1692, the farm has only been producing commercial wine for the last four years, which means that Zorgvliet wines, in many cases, are as new to the industry as the people who drink them.
In years past, the wine market has seen a significant growth in certain areas, and one such gem is the Black Diamonds. To honour this special group of people, Zorgvliet is proud to announce that we will be attending the Soweto Wine Festival on the 7th and 8th September 2007.
Patrons will have the opportunity to share in our exciting portfolio of three distinctive ranges and learn more about specific wines that suit their taste. Perhaps you’re looking for a simple pleasure - something uncomplicated and easy drinking. Why not share a bottle of Le Pommier with friends while sitting on the stoep and chatting the night away, or treat them to something fuller and more flavourful such as a bottle of Silver Myn. When you want to give someone a special gift or you’re expecting dinner guests, spoil them with a bottle of Zorgvliet.
You don’t have to be an expert to enjoy Zorgvliet wines; you simply have to believe in love, laughter, sharing, caring and ultimately relaxation. These philosophies are carried through in everything we do and create and we promise a Zorgvliet experience in every glass.
Zorgvliet Wine Estate lies in the heart of the Cape winelands, painted with the classic beauty of vines, blue skies and the majesty of the mountains; a magical setting where the nostalgia of yesteryear seamlessly embraces a modern lifestyle.
Here you can put your feet up and restore your soul. It’s a place where the only skyscrapers are the mountains and the only traffic is the cicadas on lazy summer afternoons. At sunset the valley goes into a quiet rest and you are left to soak up the night sounds, while indulging in culinary delights at one of two highly acclaimed restaurants. When you retire to your 5 star vineyard lodge the magic of the valley will fill your dreams.
At Zorgvliet we offer world-class pampering in luxurious facilities, surrounded by some of the most spectacular scenery South Africa has to offer, while every glass of award-winning Zorgvliet wine reflects the free spirit of the Cape winelands, its untainted scenery, and the peace that only nature can bring. At Zorgvliet we believe in providing special experiences for special people. And no one is more special than you are. |
