Bellpost Wines
Winery Description
Location and History
Bellpost Cellar resides on the R362, nestled between Vredendal and Lutzville in the scenic West Coast of South Africa. This region features a unique terroir, characterized by its Mediterranean climate and sandy soils, conducive to viticulture. The vineyards primarily supply grapes to larger cellars, with the Thiart family managing the property and its wine production. Despite its focus on supplying, Bellpost has established its own label, showcasing a limited selection of boutique wines. The farm's philosophy emphasizes quality and craftsmanship in winemaking, ensuring that each varietal and blend embodies the characteristics of the terroir. The stunning backdrop of nearby mountains and the exquisite rural landscape enhances the experience for visitors, inviting them to explore the rich agricultural heritage of the area.
Wine Tasting
Guests at Bellpost Cellar can experience a curated selection of five boutique wines, including Chardonnay, C’est La Vie, Merlot, Ruby Cabernet, and Shiraz. Tastings are conducted by Sunet Thiart and David van der Merwe, who are passionate about sharing their knowledge and appreciation of wine. They travel to Cape Town and surrounding areas to host events, making the exquisite wines more accessible. For those wishing to enjoy the tasting experience at the farm itself, prior appointments are necessary. Additionally, guests have the option to taste and purchase these wines at Thi Art Restaurant in Vredendal, providing a convenient opportunity to savor the local offerings in a charming setting. This personal touch in tastings reflects the farm's commitment to delivering a memorable wine experience.
