Piekenierskloof Wines: Where Old Vines, High Altitude and Adventure Meet

Tucked away high in the rugged mountains of the Western Cape, Piekenierskloof Wines is one of South Africa's hidden wine gems. Renowned as the Home of Grenache, this fourth-generation family winery combines breathtaking scenery, rich heritage and exceptional wines to create an experience that's worth adding to every wine lover's bucket list.

Whether you're searching for award-winning wines, spectacular mountain views or a unique day out with family and friends, Piekenierskloof Wines offers something truly special.

Welcome to the Home of Grenache

If there's one variety that defines Piekenierskloof Wines, it's Grenache.

The winery has earned a reputation for producing some of South Africa's finest Grenache wines, thanks to its unique terroir and some of the country's oldest Grenache vineyards. Many of these vineyards form part of the prestigious Old Vine Project, preserving vines that have produced exceptional grapes for decades.

Combined with vineyards planted at more than 700 metres above sea level, the cooler mountain climate allows grapes to ripen slowly, producing wines with remarkable elegance, balance and concentration of flavour.

It's no surprise that Piekenierskloof Wines proudly carries the title of the Home of Grenache.

Award-Winning Excellence

Quality is at the heart of everything Piekenierskloof Wines does.

The winery has recently been recognised as both Best Producer and Best Terroir at the prestigious Terroir Awards, further cementing its reputation as one of South Africa's top wine producers.

These awards celebrate wines that truly reflect the unique characteristics of the land where they're grown - a philosophy that Piekenierskloof Wines embraces in every bottle.
