About us
Our Story
Paul and Nicky Wallace purchased their 25 hectare farm in September 2003 and relocated from Cape Town to Elgin. Using Paul’s extensive viticultural knowledge they immediately began to uproot the apple trees and replace them with wine grapes. It has long been Paul’s belief that the cool-climate region of Elgin, previously best known for its apples and pears, is one of the most exciting developing wine regions within the South African wine industry and indeed internationally.
Our Vineyards
The apple orchards have been replaced by plantings of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Malbec and Cabernet Franc, changing the face of the farm entirely. The area under vines is currently 12.5 hectares. What is planted on the remaining four hectares of arable land is still hotly debated at the dinner table.
Our Family
This is a small family business where Paul oversees the vineyards and Nicky, with her commercial retail background, is the glue that holds the admin, sales and marketing together. Their youngest son Bobby, is responsible for the winemaking and the development of further domestic and international markets.
