A Historic South African Winery in the Breede River Valley
Excelsior Wine Estate: A 160-Year Legacy in Robertson Valley
Located in the stunning Robertson Wine Valley, Excelsior Wine Estate boasts a rich history of over 160 years in winemaking. This family-owned winery has been nurtured by the De Wet family since 1859, when Koos de Wet first settled in this picturesque region.
The Roots of Winemaking in Cape Town
Koos de Wet is a descendant of Jacobus de Wet, one of the early winemakers in Cape Town who arrived in 1697. Jacobus was instrumental in establishing vineyards in Stellenbosch. After a family dispute, Koos relocated to the Robertson area, where he founded Excelsior Estate. The estate was later divided among his sons, who focused on both horse breeding and viticulture.
Fifth Generation of Wine Producers
Now in its fifth generation, Excelsior Estate continues to prioritize quality winemaking. The estate spans over 220 hectares, with a commitment to sustainable vineyard practices that yield high-quality grapes. The winery produces a variety of wines, including Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Viognier, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz, and Malbec. Handpicked grapes are transformed into exquisite red, white, and rosé wines. Visitors can also enjoy a stay at the estate's 4-star manor guesthouse.
Excelsior Wine Estate minimizes chemical use, taking advantage of the Robertson Valley's ideal climate and unique soils for vine cultivation.

Hi, I want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for promoting your wines thus far. I regularly purchase your Sauvignon Blanc from Kowalski's Market in the Woodbury branch in Minnesota. I'm from Robertson and can't brag enough about the excellent wines of the Wine Valley. 3 shout out to you! Today is a particularly cold day with high winds and snow, but we braved the weather and went out to buy some more wine to beat the chill.

Top notch service at the wine tasting. Amazing experience blending your own wine, bottling and labeling it, at a very affordable price. Hostess was friendly, accommodating, understanding, helpful, knowledgeable, and the list goes on.

This was literally one of the best wine farm experiences I've ever had. Unpretentious and fairly priced, we had a taste of both their Viogner & Reserve Chardonnay (both of which are coming back home with us). We then created 2 blends and bottled, corked, sealed and labeled them ourselves at only R90 ($5) a bottle! Highly recommended experience!
