Saronsberg Unclaimed

Saronsberg recently awarded with Biodiversity & Wine Initiative certificate Two months later a fire swept through the valley, destroying a portion of Saronsberg's vineyards and convincing all involved that initial plans to delay the construction of a cellar should be reconsidered Nestled at the foot of the mountain after which it is named, Saronsberg wine estate is a contemporary addition to the rich heritage of Tulbagh valley

Winemaker Dewaldt Heyns, who has been head winemaker since 2003, is passionate about every aspect of the winemaking process, which is unique and quite labour intensive. Handpicking, intensive sorting of the berries, a gravity-fed fermentation cellar and focus on attention to detail are key to the phenomenal success Saronsberg wines have consistently enjoyed since the maiden vintage in 2004. This consistent performance has led to Dewaldt being nominated and accepted as member of the prestigious Cape Winemakers Guild in 2008.
