About this winery:
Cool climate & low yield apply to Wildekrans Estate Wines. The terroir of Bot Rivier is nestled between the valleys near Hermanus, thriving under the cool maritime influence of the Atlantic Ocean, making it one of the best Cape wine regions. Winemaker De Wet Viljoen produces crisp Sauvignon Blanc and is an authority in Pinotage, both as a single varietal and in Cape Blend.
