Situated in the picturesque Breedekloof Wine Valley, Botha Kelder benefits from the region's diverse terroir and ideal climate for wine growing. The winery was established as a co-operation on February 8, 1949, with just 14 founding members. The first harvest occurred just one year later, yielding an impressive 3,386 tons of grapes, despite the cellar being under construction. By 1952, the winery celebrated its official opening after three successful years of harvesting. Over the past 72 years, Botha Kelder has sustained growth and success, driven by a deep-rooted passion for wine. The area is characterized by mountainous terrain and fertile alluvial soils that contribute to the rich flavors and quality of the wines produced here. Botha Kelder has received numerous accolades, including awards from the National Young Wine Show and the Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards, exhibiting their commitment to excellence in winemaking.
