Rietvallei
Wine Estate, situated in the Klaas Voogds Valley, eight
kilometers east of Robertson, is one of the oldest Muscadel
farms in this area.
The farm is in the hands of the Burger family since 1864.
About 135 hectares of Rietvallei is planted with vineyards,
the most important cultivars being Chardonnay, Muscadel,
Cabernet Sauvignon, Rhine Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc.
Rietvallei's Estate Red Muscadel performed well over the
past few years. In 2000 it was chosen by the Swedish Monopoly
as the best on their market. The Chardonnay made its debut
on the panel of the Wine of the Month club in 2001.
Both the Chardonnay and Muscadel won a silver medal at
the 2000 Veritas. The youngest addition to the portfolio
is the Sauvignon Blanc, which was released in September
2001.
