Historical Wellington Wine Estate: A Timeless Legacy
Price: R 75,200,000 excl Vat

Nestled in the heart of South Africa’s premier grapevine propagation region, this magnificent 298-hectare Cape wine estate stands as a testament to history and winemaking excellence. Just 4km from the charming town of Wellington, this property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the Cape’s rich agricultural heritage, sold as a thriving, fully operational “lock, stock and barrel” business.

Exceptional Terroir and Vineyards
The estate's 88 hectares of vineyards are a study in diverse and dynamic terroir. Planted on the slopes of Groenberg in the foothills of the majestic Hawequa Mountains, the vines benefit from a unique microclimate. The mountainous terrain not only acts as a rain barrier but also funnels the cooling south-easterly winds down the valleys. While summers can be warm, the varied topography creates pockets of cooler air, with some vineyards being up to 3°C cooler than the valley floor. This ensures the grapes are protected from the harsh afternoon sun, allowing them to ripen slowly and develop complexity. The result is a superb mix of red and white cultivars, producing an annual harvest of over 1,000 tonnes.

Impressive Infrastructure and Historical Charm
This estate combines state-of-the-art winemaking facilities with timeless Cape Dutch architecture. The comprehensive infrastructure includes:

A sprawling ±2,000m² cellar complex with a capacity of ±1,000 tonnes. It is equipped with all the necessary infrastructure for vinification, maturation, and storage, and includes a welcoming tasting room for visitors.

An energy-efficient 168-panel solar system powering the operation.

An office block with a shed and staff facilities.

The centerpiece of the estate is a magnificent Cape Dutch homestead, dating back to 1806. This historical home features three en-suite bedrooms, a lounge, a dining room, a kitchen, and a double garage. It is complemented by a swimming pool, pool house, and extensive, manicured gardens.

Additional residences include a charming Gate House (120m²), a second main house with three bedrooms and a swimming pool, and two separate manager’s houses, each with three bedrooms.

A variety of farm sheds, outbuildings, and the historical “Old Cellar” complete the extensive property.

Water for the farm is sourced from boreholes and efficiently stored in a series of earthen dams and reservoirs, ensuring a reliable supply.

This historical wine estate is more than just a farm; it is a legacy waiting for its next custodian. With its prime location, exceptional terroir, and comprehensive infrastructure, it offers an unparalleled opportunity to enter or expand within the prestigious South African wine industry.
