Description
Nestled amongst the Schapenberg hillock overlooking False Bay, Highberry shares it’s borders with some of South Africa’s best known wine farms, including Vergelegen, Waterkloof and Journey’s End. This area ranks amongst South Africa’s most sought after for the crafting of top quality wines, as well as recently the hosting of events because of its unique location, terroir and breath taking vistas.
Although a mere 3 miles from the ocean, our location on the slopes and atop Schapenberg results in vineyards located up to 200m above sea level. In addition, prevailing South-East winds blow off the chilled ocean during the summer growing season, ensuring an optimal cool climate for fruit development, producing wine grapes with real intensity and vibrancy. While the farm is classified within the Stellenbosch district, these cooler climate characteristics produce fruit budding dates that are generally 4 days later than the Stellenbosch average.
