Groot Phesantekraal is Historical, Philosophical, and Its Wines Are Classical
The Historic Farm of Durbanville
Groot Phesantekraal is a historic farm in the Durbanville wine region where a resourceful family combines respect for their heritage and a passion for progress to produce accessible wines of excellence. The Groot Phesantekraal has a long history which started in 1698. The farm has been passed from family to family until the present owner, the Brink family. The farm has been a successful producer of grains, cattle, and sheep in past but now the Brink family cultivates grapes in 50 ha of this property, which they planted in the 1990s.Terroir of Durbanville Wine Region
Durbanville wine region is situated in the Eastern Cape and has some of the best vineyards in South Africa. The region is well known for its dry, sandy soils which make it ideal for growing Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Merlot grapes. The unusual characteristics of the soil here are that it produces a wide range of microclimates and extreme temperatures, with a very limited amount of sunshine. This variety of climate makes this area perfect for producing large volumes of wine without overheating or distortion due to large temperature swings, even when vineyards are set close together and grow near each other.The Unique Features of Groot Phesantekraal Winery
The winery runs on the philosophy of limited production with high quality. They use the native varietals of grapes to produce their wines. They have combined traditional winemaking practices with innovative technology to produce wines organically. Located in the northeast of Durbanville, the vineyards enjoy the cooling effect of the Atlantic. These wines capture the authenticity of the lands of the Durbanville wine region.Experiences to book at Groot Phesantekraal Wines

My colleagues and I had a great function at Groot Phesantelkraal. I would highly recommend this venue if you are planning to host a event for a bigger group of people. Staff and food was 10/10!
