Bottelary

Bottelary’s emphasis on red wine production, coupled with its specific soil and climatic conditions, makes it a distinctive and sought-after ward within Stellenbosch. It is known for production of ripe and textured red wines, particularly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. What sets Bottelary apart is its predominantly granite and sandy soils, which contribute to the distinct flavor profiles and structure of the wines produced. The area benefits from a Mediterranean climate, with warm summers and cooling afternoon breezes from False Bay, providing an ideal environment for the cultivation of full-bodied, expressive wines.
