Terroir Vineyards outside Stellenbosch is a 72ha historical wine farm in the Stellenboschkloof valley, a valley unique in several ways. First of all, the slopes on all sides offer excellent terroir to grow a variety of wine grapes of exceptional quality. Secondly, this is rural countryside at its most beautiful and unspoiled, yet only minutes from town. And thirdly, this particular wine growing area of the Cape Winelands is locked in by developing urban growth, which means that not only is there no more of it to be had, but that opportunities of owning farmland here are becoming rare.

The farm spans across the valley, benefitting from the varied slopes, elevations and soil types. Neighbouring wine farms that have already wowed the world with outstanding, award winning varietal wines illustrate what Terroir Vineyards is capable of in the hands of a dedicated, passionate team.

Currently the farm is planted to about 57ha of wine grapes with a balance of red and white varieties. Red cultivars include Pinotage, Shiraz, Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvedre and Roobernet while white cultivars include Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Semillon and Colombard.

The property features a 3 bedroomed, 2 bathroomed main farmhouse and seven workers’ cottages with quite a bit of open space that has the potential for further infrastructure. The farm is located on a narrow tarred road, which ends in a cul de sac.

Irrigation water is drawn from a large farm dam with a capacity of about 79 million litres, and potable water is supplied from a natural spring situated on the farm.

The value of this property resides in its size, location, terroir and current agricultural development. By investing in this farm, one will be acquiring a first-class foundation on which to build something remarkable. It is on offer for R24,95 million (plus Vat) as a going concern.
