Situated in the picturesque Swartland region, Pulpit Rock Winery lies at the foothills of the Kasteelberg Mountain, near the charming Riebeek Valley. The winery's name derives from the nearby rocky outcrop known as 'Pulpit.' The area is marked by its striking contrast of green hills, vineyards, and orchards, with vineyards benefiting from a combination of shale and weathered sandstone soils. The climate is characterized by cold, wet winters and warm, dry summers. The farm was founded in the mid-sixteenth century by Pieter Cruythoff and later came under the ownership of the Brink family, who have contributed significantly to its modern development. With a passion for winemaking that dates back to 1918, Ernst Brink made the dream a reality in 2003, with assistance from his sons. The stunning setting and commitment to quality reflect the spirit of the Swartland, making this winery a compelling addition to the wine and olive route.
