Paardeberg Surrounds 

Paardeberg is a somber, massive sprawling rise of granite that allows for a myriad of different slopes and expositions. It lies between Paarl and Malmesbury, and is recognised as one of the most exciting areas to be planted with vines in recent years. Vineyards here tend to produce wines of elegance and structural finesse, which is less robust than the fruit from the bordering Swartland area. A degree of minerality, for us the holy grail of a fine white wine, is found in both the Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc that are grown here. Generally the South-Western slopes are good for Sauvignon and Chenin, whereas the inland-facing slopes are better suited for reds, especially Shiraz.
