Our Wines
The vineyards lie at the foot of the Franschhoek mountains, where every grape is picked by hand. From these vineyards, the Brendel range is made in a tradition that goes back centuries.
Today, the estate grows nine varieties: Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Chardonnay among the whites, with Shiraz, Pinotage, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec among the reds.
