Since 1928, when
fifteen farmers founded the Calitzdorp
Wine Cellar in order to export Hanepoot
grapes, this cellar in the heart of the
"Port capital of South-Africa" has
offered choice products to discerning
clients. Exciting wines like Touriga
Nacional can be tasted at the cellar.
These wines boast with a new label on
which the rare ecological phenomenon,
the red hills surrounding Calitzdorp,
appears.
The cellar is situated overlooking the
beautiful Gamka River Valley, with a big
stoep where wines can be tasted while
enjoying a picnic lunch.
