Le Manoir de Brendel winery: wines with finesse and elegance

The Franschhoek valley has always been known as a haven of tranquillity, exceptional beauty and fine food and wine, long since the arrival of the Huguenots in 1688.

Le Maoit de Brendel winery, situated 55 kilometres from Cape Town International Airport in the heart of the Cape Winelands, upholds this very tradition of finesse and elegance of the valley and the Cape Winelands region

It is a five-minute drive from the historical Franschhoek Village, rated among the top gourmet and wine towns of South Africa on the R45.

Perfect climatic conditions for great wines

Le Manoir de Brendel is a family owned winery where all grapes are harvested by hand from selected low yielding vines. On sorting tables all bunches which do not meet the high standard are removed. Le Manoir de Brendel stands for attention to detail according to centuries old tradition of winemaking.
In this mild and sunny climate in the shadow of the mountains, 80% of the vineyards are planted with red varieties and 20% with white. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinotage and Shiraz are their red cultivars, and Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Semmilon and Chardonnay the white cultivars.

Wines reflecting the values of the owner

The individuality of the winery is striking in the wines they make. These wines taste of their delicious and strong values for excellence, innovation, hospitality and tradition. And not to forget the incredible terroir that the vines are cultivated in, the exhilarating taste of the Cape Winelands and the Franschhoek valley lingers long after on your palate as well as your memory.
