"A
reflection of proud tradition in every bottle"
|
|
Situated
in the heart of the Cape Winelands. Its winemaking tradition
dates back to the late 17th century when the French Huguenot
settlers came to the Cape to develop the fledging wine
industry started in 1655 by the first commandor fo the
new colony, Jan van Riebeeck. Among the new comers was
Jacques de Villiers, a winemaker from Niort in France.
In 1874 his great-grandson Paul bought a portion of the
original Landskroon farm which has been granted to a Free
Burger by Governor Simon van der Stel in 1692.The expansion
continued until today Landskroon comprises more than 600
hectares - with vineyards covering nearly 300 hectares.
The Estate is managed as a private family operation, owned
by brothers Paul and Hugo de Villiers. Paul de Villiers
Jr, current cellarmaster, is a member of the ninth generation
carrying on this proud tradition. Eighty percent of the
vineyards at Landskroon consist of the red cultivars Cabernet
Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Shiraz Pinot Noir and
Pinotage. Port varieties Tinta Barocca, Rinta Roriz, Souzao
and Touriga Nacional constitutes approximately 10% of
the production while the remainder of the farm is devoted
to white wine cultivars, Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc,
Chardonnay and Morio Muscat.
