In the midst of tough times, there has been much to celebrate at De Grendel, and all credit goes to the team who have worked together and found new ways to deliver the De Grendel experience to our loyal patrons, hopefully providing some light through the simple pleasures of good wine and food and the natural beauty of our farm.

Please note that our tasting room is closed until further notice in accordance with level 3 regulations in South Africa. Our Restaurant remains open with special trading hours.

A love story, a family legacy, a noble title, a small hill on a historic farm looking across the ocean – all these are entwined in the story of the new De Grendel Proposal Hill Brut Rosé, an elegant vintage Pinot Noir Cap Classique released to mark the 300th anniversary of the landmark Cape farm.

De Grendel received one of only 115 gold medals along with one of only 13 green medals for its Bordeaux-style Red Blend Rubaiyat at the 12th Cathay Pacific Hong Kong IWSC.

De Grendel capped its 300^th anniversary year with the achievement of a new milestone – a remarkable four five-star ratings in the 2021 Platter’s South African Wine Guide.

De Grendel celebrates its 300^th anniversary this year, marking three centuries of a Cape landmark whose story – and that of its fourth-generation owners, the Graaff family – is deeply woven into South Africa’s history.

De Grendel Op Die Berg Pinot Noir 2017 has claimed the Pinot Noir Trophy in the Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards 2020, and the De Grendel Shiraz 2018 was one of just 24 entries scoring 96 points or more to achieve a Platinum medal, while Rubaiyat 2016 was awarded Gold.

We are pleased to release our exclusive and limited release Sensory Wine Box, which allow De Grendel fans to enjoy a private tasting with friends in the comfort of their homes.

After months of being closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are excited to welcome you back to De Grendel. Although we are only open for a limited amount of people to adhere to COVID-19 regulations, we look forward to introduce our various Estate Experiences to you.

We’re celebrating! De Grendel wines raked in a fantastic five 90-plus scores from respected wine commentator Tim Atkin MW in his 2020 South Africa Special Report, including an outstanding 93 points for our flagship Amandelboord Pinotage 2019.
