Le Belle Rebelle Winery

Le Belle Rebelle: A Winery with Ancient Soils

Located in the picturesque Breedekloof Valley, Le Belle Rebelle winery benefits from some of the oldest soils in the world, formed by the nearby mountain ranges. The estate is nourished by crystal-clear water flowing from the Du Toitskloof mountains, creating an ideal environment for viticulture. Owner Pieter Stofberg emphasizes the importance of quality in the vineyards, ensuring that the Le Belle wine range exclusively uses grapes from family-owned vineyards, showcasing the unique terroir of Breedekloof.

Grape Varieties Grown

The ancient soils of Breedekloof support a diverse array of grape varieties. The region's moderate microclimate promotes slow grape ripening, resulting in an extended harvest season. Most vineyard tasks, including leafing, suckering, and harvesting, are performed manually to maintain quality. The winery cultivates Chenin Blanc, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Colombar, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Sauvignon Blanc. Only the finest grapes are handpicked to create their red, white, rosé, and sparkling wines.

Wines that Reflect Terroir

Le Belle Rebelle wines are crafted from the best ripe grapes, reflecting the region's terroir and the richness of the soil. The Rebelle range features unique combinations of grapes, resulting in complex wines that highlight South Africa's exceptional wine quality. In addition to wine, the winery began producing vintage brandy in 2015 and launched African Dry Gin in 2016, further showcasing their commitment to quality and innovation.
