Rietvallei Unclaimed

For years the estate has had a small portfolio, consisting only of the Red Muscadel. In 1987 Johnny added the Chardonnay and in 2001 the Sauvignon Blanc. The first red wine, Cabernet Sauvignon, was released in 2002 and from then on the portfolio expanded to the four ranges we have today



“The ultimate test of man's conscience may be his willingness to sacrifice something today for future generations whose words of thanks will not be heard.”― Gaylord Nelson Rietvallei Wine Estate counts among South Africa’s oldest family-owned wine estates and was one of the first wine farms established in the picturesque Robertson Wine Valley. From generation to generation, storytelling has been an art in the Burger family and that art is continued by its 6th generation. We treasure our heritage, since our lineage is rich in history and tradition, but we also understand the need to build on the sacrifices, wisdom and hard work of previous generations to innovate and cultivate new and exciting approaches to wine-making.
