Nestled at the foot of the mountain after wich it is named, Saronsberg wine estate is a contemporary addition to the rich heritage of Tulbagh Valley – an ancient wine region situated 120 kms north-east of Capetown. It was formed late in 2002, with the aim of producing exceptional wines that express the character and quality of their unique origin. In October 2003, Dewaldt Heyns joined as winemaker -just in time to witness the final construction of Saronsberg’s cutting edge cellar and avant -garde tasting room. Harvest of the maiden vintage began on 25 January 2004 at 06:01(Dewaldt misjudged the one minute walk from his house to the cellar), when the farm’s first sSuvignon Blanc grapes were gathered.
