LOUISVALE

At the foot of the ancient Cape Folded Mountains lies Louisvale — where heritage and modern winemaking meet. Your journey begins along a stone road lined with olive groves and water oaks, leading to our iconic bronze dragonfly and the heart of the estate.Louisvale’s story stretches back to the 1950s, when the land was first divided into the farms that would later unite under one vision. By the late 1980s, Louisvale wines were already making their mark, appearing in top South African restaurants and even on the shelves of Harrods and Sainsbury’s.Today, the estate blends two worlds: the historic Manor House, believed to be designed in the style of Sir Herbert Baker, and the striking modern venue completed in 2018 — a contemporary architectural landmark overlooking our vineyards. Together, they frame the perfect setting for tastings, celebrations, and unforgettable weddings.Under the meticulous care of winemaker Simon Smith, our vineyards produce award winning Chardonnay, Cap Classique, Cabernet Sauvignon, Bordeaux Blends, Sauvignon Blanc, and Merlot — wines shaped by east facing slopes, decomposed granite soils, and generations of craftsmanship.Louisvale remains a place where tradition and innovation live side by side — and every bottle tells the story of the land that shaped the trade.
