Banghoek Ward

With its tranquil setting and a focus on producing outstanding white wines, the Banghoek Ward offers a delightful and refreshing experience for those seeking something unique within Stellenbosch. Tucked away in the secluded Banghoek Valley, this ward in Stellenbosch is a hidden gem and is known for its cooler climate (compared to the wards with exposure to False Bay winds) and exceptional white wines. The valley’s high altitude and proximity to the Drakenstein Mountains create ideal growing conditions for Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc, which showcase very high acidity, concentrated and ripe fruit flavors, and a characteristic saline minerality.
