Groot Phesantekraal Wines and Restaurant

Call Directions Website

Groot Phesantekraal Wines and Restaurant Groot Phesantekraal is managed by the Brink family as a Farm, award wining Wine Estate, & Restaurant By 1756, 40 000 vines had already been established.
(501)

In 1698 Governor Simon van der Stel Granted the farm Groot Phesantekraal to it’s first owner Captain Oloff Berg. In 1897 the Brink family acquired the farm. Although the farm produced grapes over the years it was only in 2005 when the first wine was released. The 930ha farm of which 60ha are under vine is situated on the north eastern side of Durbanville. Currently only 18tons are harvested for own use, with the remainder sold to other cellars. Grape varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Pinotage, Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc. Being passionate about good wine made the decision for Andre and Ronelle to make their own wine come naturally. Building from strength to strength we are currently in the process of growing our boutique winery including constructing our own red wine maturation cellar and fully fledged wine cellar facilities. Andre and Ronelle Brink invite wine and food lovers to share in their love of good wine and food to experience Groot Phesantekraal and what it has to offer. Winemaker: Richard Schroeder

Called Last Light, the drink combines Chenin Blanc, Olof Bergh brandy, pineapple and the farm’s own olive oil to create a silky, textured cocktail inspired by the lingering beauty of golden hour.
