Excelsior Wine Estate

Excelsior Wine Estate Excelsior - Produced and bottled by five generations of the De Wet family.

The De Wet family have farmed at Excelsior Estate, in the Robertson wine valley, since 1859 when Koos de Wet settled here and began clearing the veld of the Little Karoo. Our family philosophy is that good wine starts in the vineyards – the wine maker can only succeed with the best ingredients to work with. The farm now has 220ha planted with noble cultivars; Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Shiraz, M

erlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. There are also small plantings of blending cultivars such as Petit Verdot and Viognier. Our aim is to produce full-bodied wines that display intense fruit. We achieve this by using strict vineyard practices to ensure a healthy, well ripened crop. We can use chemicals very sparingly thanks to the dry Robertson climate. When they are ready, our grapes are picked by hand which allows greater quality control.

Honouring the king of grapes on day! Our Evanthius is named after the Hackney horse that was a champion in 1913. His name lives on in our w**e, crafted from our oldest vines, planted in 1988.

The w**e is full-bodied and rich, with blackcurrants, chocolate, and cedar notes, wrapped in soft tannins and a finish that lingers like a victory lap.

This is more than w**e. It’s Robertson W**e Valley heritage in every glass. Taste history: www.excelsior.co.za/product/evanthius-cabernet-sauvignon/
