Family run guest farm, winery and olive oil producers. We also grow rooibos tea.
We are located in the heart of Rocklands Bouldering mecca.
Our Rugged Rocks wines are crafted with patience, tradition, and respect for the land. Each variety expresses the unique character of our vineyards: Shiraz is bold, spicy, and full-bodied; Pinotage, uniquely South African, is rich and earthy; and Cabernet Sauvignon is elegant, structured, and age-worthy. All our grapes are hand-harvested from our own vines and undergo wild fermentation, avoiding the use of commercial yeasts. The wines are aged in oak barrels to develop depth and complexity, with only minimal sulphur added to preserve freshness. We practice bentonite fining only, keeping the wines as natural as possible, and we avoid cold stabilization and filtration, leaving a light natural sediment that reflects the authenticity and integrity of each vintage.
