Winery Description
Location and History
Set in the picturesque Elgin Valley of South Africa, the region boasts a unique terroir characterized by its cool climate, diverse soil types, and stunning landscapes. The area is historically significant, having been named after a local child in the late 1800s. The Elgin Valley emerged as an agricultural hub, especially known for its fruit production, with developments led by the Molteno brothers in the early 1900s. Today, this valley is recognized for cultivating high-quality grapes, given its optimal conditions for varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, and Pinot Noir. Catherine Marshall, the founder of the winery, incorporates this essence of place into her wines, ensuring that each bottle reflects the distinctive characteristics of the Elgin terroir.
