Some good news from the Eenzaamheid team.

Danwill Arries and Dolf Marang recently represented the farm in the Cape Metro round of the Western Cape Prestige Agri Awards. Dolf entered the Junior Management category, while Danwill, Janno’s right-hand man in the cellar and kraal, entered Animal Production and was named the winner of his category.

Danwill will now go through to the provincial judging in September. We are very proud of both men and the work they do at Eenzaamheid. Congratulations, Danwill. We will all be behind you in the next round.

“This is an absolute cracker of a wine, punching way above its weight. Pure gold!”

That was Frikkie of the producer guide’s verdict on our Chenin Blanc 2024 in this year’s Vino Camino tasting booklet. We were rather pleased with that one.

We spent the weekend in Prince Albert for the third annual Vino Camino, at the foot of the Swartberg Mountains. Prince Albert does things at its own pace. People stop to talk, there is always another wine to taste and nobody seems in too much of a hurry. That is why Vino Camino is one of our favourite wine weekends.

On our table were the Vin Blanc 2025, Chenin Blanc 2024, Cinsaut 2025, Grenache Noir 2025, Cuvée 2023 and Shiraz 2023. Around it were familiar faces, new people and plenty of honest conversation about wine, farming and our dryland vineyards in Agter-Paarl.

Thank you to the Vino Camino team, the people of Prince Albert and everyone who stopped to taste with us.

If you joined us at Vino Camino, which Eenzaamheid wine was your favourite?

Last week was a busy and rewarding one on the road for us.

The week commenced with our annual Cape Town trade show hosted at The Wi******er Boutique Hotel in Sea Point, where we had the opportunity to connect and share our wines with members of the wine trade.

On Tuesday, we travelled to Cape St Francis for an intimate tasting with Nevermind, hosted inside the iconic Seal Point Lighthouse. It was undoubtedly one of the most unique and memorable venues in which we’ve had the pleasure of showcasing our wines.

The journey continued with a pairing dinner at Walkers Beach in Plettenberg Bay on Wednesday, followed by another wonderful pairing dinner at 101 Meade in George on Thursday.

A sincere thank you to every restaurant, chef, trade partner and wine lover who welcomed us along the way and shared a glass of Eenzaamheid with us. It was a memorable week filled with exceptional food, fine wine and great company.

The Eenzaamheid & Koopmanskraal Fairtrade Committee recently donated raincoats and school shoes to learners in need at selected schools in Agter-Paarl.

These practical donations will help children arrive at school warm and dry, with dignity and confidence.

We extend our sincere thanks to the members of the Fairtrade Committee who helped make this possible and we are grateful that our Fairtrade programme enables us to support the community we call home.

Dryland farming is part of who we are at Eenzaamheid.

Through the Dryland Project, researchers and industry partners are working across 10 sites in 3 countries, looking at how vines perform in water-limited vineyards. The project, funded by the French National Research Agency, studies 5 grape varieties across different climates, soils and farming realities.

Here on the farm, our dryland Chenin Blanc and Syrah form part of the research. By monitoring both younger and older vines, we’re learning more about how these vineyards adapt, endure and continue to produce fruit with character in our conditions.

It’s a privilege to contribute to work that speaks so closely to the future of farming, and to the resilience of dryland vines.

On Monday, we welcomed a group from the wine trade and hospitality industry to Eenzaamheid for a Masterclass and Lunch.

The group included restaurateurs, retail owners, wine shop managers, chefs, sommeliers and wine stewards.

Thank you to everyone who made the time to visit the farm, taste through the wines and spend the afternoon with us. It was good to have such honest conversations around the table and to share a little more of what we do here at Eenzaamheid.

We appreciate the interest and support, and look forward to seeing where our wines are poured, sold and enjoyed next.

We had a wonderful time at the annual Stoep Tasting in the charming Karoo town, Graaff-Reinet!

It was a busy few days, with full glasses, familiar faces and plenty of good conversations along the way. We are so grateful for the lovely feedback from clients and the support shown to our wines and olives over the weekend.

Our olives have become such a special part of the Eenzaamheid table and were once again a big hit, even with a regular canine friend.

We saw old friends, made new ones, and were reminded once again why Stoep Tasting is one of the highlights on our calendar.

Thank you to everyone who stopped, tasted, chatted, bought wine, stocked up on olives and shared in the weekend with us; we are already looking forward to next year.

We were recently featured in a story about small batch wines on wine.co.za. Thank you for including us in this article!

The most interesting wines in South Africa aren't always the ones with the widest shelf space. Sometimes the best bottle in the room is the one you haven’t heard of yet.

We had a productive time showing the new Eenzaamheid vintages in the greater Durban area of SA’s subtropical KwaZulu-Natal province.

Daily, several focussed trade tastings took us from Umhlanga with its iconic lighthouse, and scenic Whalebone Pier to Umdloti with its expansive white beaches and Ballito with its golden beaches, frequent dolphin sightings, and upmarket lifestyle.

The nights were filled with an intimate private tasting for longtime friends in the lush, tree-lined suburb of Cowies Hill and an excellent four-course Food & Wine Pairing Dinner at the contemporary Grimaldi’s Italian & Grill in Umhlanga.

We returned to the Cape with gratitude for all the positive feedback received, connections made and love towards Eenzaamheid. And more spices and hot masala than the ancient merchants!

While the 2026 vintage started its journey in the cellar, we’re excited to share the arrival of five new wines that are now ready for your glass!

Our Vin Blanc 2025, Cinsaut Rosé 2025, Cinsaut 2025, Grenache Noir 2025, and Malbec 2024 are now available to buy on our online store.

Each one carries the unmistakable fingerprint of Eenzaamheid: honest fruit, careful hands, and a deep respect for where it comes from. Fresh and expressive, yet grounded in place, these wines reflect the character of our vineyards and the season that shaped them.

We invite you to explore the new vintages with us and discover how the season has shaped each wine by clicking here: https://eenzaamheidwines.co.za/shop/
