Previously described as "one of South Africa's oldest and leading white wine estates" Montpellier is being resurrected to its former glory by owners Adv. Lucas van Tonder and wine-maker Gerd Theron.

Established in 1714, Montpellier, nestling in the picturesque Tulbagh valley an hours drive from Cape Town, was the first Cape Wine Farm to obtain a Superior rating from the Wine and Spirit Board for their white wine, which has the unique characteristic of quality and enjoyment after extended maturation. For 2002 Gerd and Lucas have the following creations in mind: WHITES: Chenin Blanc, Weisser Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewurztraminer. REDS: Merlot, Pinot Noir.
