Nestled in the serene landscapes of Stellenbosch, Guardian Peak Winery takes its name from the iconic mountain that looms above. Founded in 1998 by Jean Engelbrecht, the winery draws on international market knowledge combined with the rich heritage of the family’s wine estate, Rust en Vrede, in Stellenbosch. The vineyards, sourced from Breedekloof and Stellenbosch, benefit from long-term agreements with respected growers, ensuring consistency and quality in the sustainable wines produced. Guardian Peak champions a philosophy focused on creating approachable, everyday wines that resonate with wine enthusiasts. The terroir of the area, characterized by its diverse soil types and Mediterranean climate, enriches the grapes, resulting in wines with true character and expression. The commitment to sustainability and quality extends beyond the vineyards to the winery itself, where winemakers employ contemporary techniques while paying homage to traditional methods, encapsulating the essence of the region in each bottle.
