Nestled in Wellington, South Africa, Welgegund Heritage Wines boasts a remarkable location characterized by its ancient granite outcrops and indigenous fynbos foliage. The estate's foundation dates back to 1777 and is a testament to the region's rich viticultural history. It features a historic manor house surrounded by carefully tended gardens. The terroir, consisting of ancient decomposed granite soils, contributes significantly to the quality of the wine produced here. The unique climate of hot, dry summers paired with cold, wet winters allows for the cultivation of heritage vines, including Cinsault, Chenin Blanc, and Carignan, which have been nurtured since the 1970s. The winemaking philosophy prioritizes minimal intervention, allowing the natural attributes of the grapes to express themselves, resulting in exceptional wines.
