Overview

The farm is situated on the east-facing slopes of Paarl Mountain, providing a cooler climate as well as wonderful views of the Berg River Valley and surrounding areas.

Originally settled by a Blacksmith, Johann Jost Gunterlock, in 1747, it has been run as a working farm since shortly after this, being bought by Gideon Jacobus Retief in 1873 for the princely sum of 1200 Pounds.

Today, the farm produces two ranges of wine – Retief, and Stubborn Man – under the Pearl Mountain label, which visitors can try at the Tasting Room or at Blacksmith’s Kitchen.
