AWARD winning wines and a natural playground consisting of crystal clear streams and majestic mountains await you in the Breedekloof.

Situated merely one-hour drive from Cape Town, the Breedekloof includes 22 wineries in the Rawsonville, Slanghoek, Goudini and Breede River areas which range from small boutique cellars to estates and large co-operative wineries.

WINE OF ORIGIN DISTRICT
The Breedekloof region was recently awarded "wine-of-origin" status. The concept behind this is to identify wine producing areas which are differentiated by soil type, climate and location - all factors which impact on the character of the wines produced. In order to qualify for this status, an area must be able to show that these factors produce wine with a distinctive character. The Breedekloof has a diverse climate, soil type and the influence of mountain slopes, which assist the wine makers in producing wines of exceptional quality.



FRUIT OF THE VINE
The cellars and estates in the Breedekloof produce "new world" style wines, that are upfront, complex, yet well balanced. Our white wines range from dry to semi-sweet, with chardonnay consistently performing above standard and being awarded a wide range of accolades. Our red wines offer typical red & black berry characteristics, spicy and peppery, with intense colour, soft tannins and are full and complex, as well as easy drinking. Pinotage performs extremely well in the area. The accolades awarded to our dessert wines speak for themselves.

BREEDEKLOOF IS CONSERVATION CONSCIOUS
Home to the 1st conservancy in the Western Cape wine region, the Breedekloof has partnered with organisations such as BWI (Biodiversity Wine Initiative), CapeNature and LandCare.
