Producer Information

The history of De Grendel is interwoven with the story of South Africa over three centuries. Once a remote outpost of Cape Town, De Grendel today is the entry point to the Durbanville wine route. Four generations of the Graaff family, custodians of the estate since 1891, have built up a sustainable, diversified farming enterprise, dedicated to conservation of the environment and heritage of one of the Cape’s oldest farms.

Commanding panoramic views over fynbos-rich slopes across Table Bay to Table Mountain, our cellar carefully balances art and science, age-old traditions, and modern technology, for uncompromising quality. Sharing the magnificent views, our highly rated Restaurant presents contemporary Cape cuisine designed to complement our wines.

De Grendel has pioneered winegrowing in some of South Africa’s youngest, most extreme and most exciting appellations, seeking out unique areas for the distinctive characteristics they bring to specific cultivars.

Meticulous care of the growing environment together with minimal intervention in the cellar allows the grapes to express their growing environment and distinct varietal character, producing our De Grendel signature of elegant freshness, purity, and depth.
