Great Domaines

Great Domaines was established in when it first started importing fine wine from a handful of top domaines in Burgundy, France. The organization is completely focused on importing domaines that are at the top of the qualitative scale in their respective fine wine regions. The personal relationships with the various domaines are the backbone to the success of the business as a large portion of the wine, especially the Burgundy, is very hard to obtain elsewhere in the fine wine market. As a result at least one trip each year takes place to visit our producers and maintain these relationships, which is essential. The first wine officially imported by Great Domaines was the vintage from Burgundy domaine, Jacques-Frederic Mugnier. In the beginning 6 domaines were imported regularly and now the Burgundy portfolio has 24 domaines. Excluding Burgundy the rest of the portfolio is driven by the same philosophy of establishing direct, personal relationships with great domaines in various fine wine regions in Europe and importing their wines every year. The thinking since Great Domaines’ inception has been to focus on giving wine-lovers in South Africa the opportunity to buy and drink fine wine from some of the most revered domaines in Europe and provide a window into what makes these people and their wines so special. Our wines are all stored in a temperature-controlled cellar at 10° C.

Few places on earth offer such a spectacular outlook. Nestled atop Tygerberg Hill, surveying its surrounds with unparalleled 270 degrees panoramics, De Grendel showcases Table Mountain, the city of Cape Town and the seaboard all in one landscape. Just 20 minutes from the city, this dramatic expanse of land offers perspective and accessibility. De Grendel means “the latch” in Dutch – this farm was historically the gateway on the route to the inland settlements of Durbanville and Stellenbosch which had to be opened to traverse the Tygerberg. Our distinctive position: Perfectly situated on high, sea-facing slopes, it is the only vineyard in the country that is 350m above sea level and only 7 km from the sea. This elevated position is not only majestic, but also forms an integral part of the micro-climate that shapes our elegant wines. Our vines benefit from the western-facing aspect and the close moderating effects of the ocean – advantages that are the product of the site. In our viticulture and wine-making, our goal is the expression of the character of this distinctive position.

After three generations of wine grape production and grafting, Andrew and his family decided to use their extensive nursery knowledge to start producing Mischa wines. They created a boutique winery with limited production of only the highest quality, unique wines. Now, 8 years later, they are recognized as one of the top 10 wine farms in South Africa. Their brands, “Mischa” and “Eventide” have received numerous gold or double-gold awards and top marks from Robert Parker Jr, Wine Enthusiast, John Platter and more.

Bellevue Wine Estate

Bellevue Wine Estate in the prestigious Stellenbosch wine growing region in South Africa, cultivates approximately 152ha of vineyards on a variety of sites. This enables the winemaker to select the very best pockets from which to make the exquisite wines that Bellevue Wine Estate is renowned for. Bellevue’s vineyards comprise of Pinotage, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsaut, Shiraz, Petit Verdot, Chenin blanc, Sauvignon blanc, Chardonnay, Muscat d’Alexandrie, Cabernet franc and Merlot. With careful and integrated farming methods Bellevue has succeeded in boasting some of the oldest vineyards in South Africa with many of the vineyards 40+ years old. This makes for a heritage in its own right! Together with the ripe age of the vines and the fact that many blocks are bush vines, the result is lower yields while the vines deliver grapes with concentration in flavour and pure, elegant fruit characters. Continuing to follow strict IPW and Wieta guidelines, there is still a long future for Bellevue’s gentle oldies. Some of the oldest blocks include Cinsaut planted in 1952, Pinotage planted in 1953 and Chenin Blanc in 1976. “Good wine is made in the vineyard”, has been the philosophy regarding wine quality on Bellevue over all the years. With minimum interference in the cellar, the role of the winemaker is to preserve the pure fruit present in the grapes and through careful oak strategy, make wines that are elegant, balanced and uniquely exquisite.
