Stanford is a relatively new wine production area which is showing tremendous potential. The proximity of Stanford Hills Estate to the coast ensures cool sea breezes during the hotter months, allowing the grapes to gently ripen at optimal speed. Winemaker Peter Kastner believes that great wine is produced in the vineyard, and credits the wonderful soil and climate of the region for the quality of the Estate wines. All grapes used are produced on the farm itself and picked by hand to ensure only the best quality grapes are used for annual wine production.
The farm also makes a Méthode Cap Classique is now available
Wine tastings are offered at The Wine Shop daily.
The somewhat basic cellar is located in one half of an airplane hangar on the farm. Peter believes in minimal interference during the winemaking process to allow the grapes to express their individual identity.

Stanford Hills
Shiraz 2016
This is a beautiful example of cool climate Shiraz. The tannins are silky and rounded with great spice and character on the palate. The nose is rich and full of flavour with hints of tobacco and white pepper that accentuate dark red fruit of blackberries, plum and dark cherries.
Stanford Hills
Sauvignon Blanc 2020
This fresh and lively sauvignon blanc expresses tropical fruit with an alcohol of just 12%! Our vineyards cover two contrasting soil types that help lend to the complexity of this wine; The orange “koffieklip” soils lend richness and texture while the white lime rich clay soils lend tension and a savoury notes.

Veldfire
Cape Blend 2020
A cool climate blend of 85% Shiraz and 15% Pinotage. This is a robust wine with great balance between savoury and fruit flavours. Good spice and weight from the Syrah complimented by fresh, red fruit from the Pinotage. Enjoy with a wide range of dishes or on its own. Dark berries, liquorice and olives give this wine a broody nature while the tannins are still soft and elegant.
