EXCELSIOR WINE ESTATE

160 years of wine making

WINE SHOP

Our Story

The De Wet family have farmed at Excelsior Estate, in the Robertson wine valley, since 1859 

Wine has always been made on the estate. It is now the most important crop on the farm and Excelsior exports wine to over 20 countries. The farm has 220ha planted with noble cultivars; Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Shiraz, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

There are also small plantings of blending cultivars such as Petit Verdot and Viognier. Our aim is to produce full-bodied wines that display intense fruit.

We achieve this by using strict vineyard practices to ensure a healthy, well ripened crop. We can use chemicals very sparingly thanks to the dry Robertson climate. When they are ready, our grapes are picked by hand which allows greater quality control.

OUR WINE RANGE

where our passion is real, like the people and the wine.

We aim to create a product that will make wine drinkers sit back and enjoy every sip.

Excelsior’s award winning wine is all about #realwine for #realpeople.

Our Cabernet Sauvignon is the most planted varietal at Excelsior and is thriving in our limestone rich soils. Blessed with a wonderful climate for growing wine grapes.

We offer wines that are dependable, reliable and true; crafting the biggest selling South African Cabernet in the USA

WINTER AT EXCELSIOR

Visit our Deli

Come and visit us and enjoy one of our freshly baked ‘roosterbrood’ sandwiches with your choice of gourmet fillings. Our traditional breads are baked every morning in a wood fired oven and prepared using, where possible, local produce. The menu is changed on a monthly basis meaning that there is always something new for you to try.

Graze@excelsior is situated on the bank of the farm’s dam with a large expanse of lawn in front of it, perfect for the kids to enjoy themselves in view of but not necessarily earshot of their parents.

Children will be kept occupied on the jungle gym, in the sand pit or feeding the horses. In Summer there is a child-minder to take them fishing off the dam’s jetty.

Enjoy views of the waterbird life while enjoying your meal and then wander down to our tasting room with a deck spanning over the water’s edge to taste our full range of wines.

There is also a diverse range of local products for sale which showcases the abundance of talent in the Breederiver Valley.
