Experience a Family-Run Vineyard at the Foot of Simonsberg Mountain
Family Owned, Family Feel
Mitre’s Edge Wine Estate is a charming family-owned winery located at the base of the Simonsberg Mountain, nestled between Paarl and Stellenbosch. Head winemaker Lola Nicholls, along with her husband Bernard, is dedicated to crafting limited quantities of premium wines. In 1999, they took over the estate from Lola’s father, Martin Hunting, who had cultivated the land since 1969. Bernard transitioned from a mechanical engineer to a passionate wine farmer, bringing a fresh perspective to the vineyard.
Handcrafted with Care
At Mitre’s Edge, each bottle of wine tells a unique story. Even wines from the same barrel can vary slightly, reflecting the artistry of boutique winemaking. The Nicholls family believes that true wine connoisseurs appreciate the distinct flavors and aromas that come from careful craftsmanship. With a dedicated team monitoring the vineyards and Lola personally overseeing the winemaking process, every vintage is crafted to be memorable and of the highest quality.
Committed to Sustainability
Mitre’s Edge is dedicated to sustainable winemaking practices that honor the environment. The estate prioritizes reducing carbon emissions and managing its carbon footprint responsibly. Efficient water usage is a key focus, ensuring that the vines receive the best care possible. Additionally, all household and winery waste is recycled and repurposed as organic fertilizer, promoting healthier vine growth and contributing to a greener future.
