Laborie Estate, granted in 1961 to the French Huguenot, Isaac Tailefert, is situated in the fertile Paarl Valley on the slopes of Paarl Mountain, from which originate its rich granite soils and excellent micro-climates, resulting in the production of ten premium quality, noble varietal wines. These are available in South Africa and selected overseas markets. Winemaker, Gideon Theron, has won many awards, most notably two double gold and six gold Veritas Awards and gold medals in France and London for his wines.
