Approximately 70% of the vines are red and 30% are white cultivars. The vineyards deliver more than 1100 tons of grapes, which give an average of 7.1 tons per hectar.

The Steenkamp family are the third generation owners of Groenland and have established a reputation for producing outstanding red wines in the fertile Bottelary area. Complex varietal wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and a special blend, Antoinette Marié, have placed the estate in the forefront of superior red wine production. Stylishly presented, the wines' drinkability have won them many fans - and awards. Groenland Shiraz and Antoinette Marié are regular winners of he Veritas, Michelangelo and Gourmet Festival prizes.

As the Bottelary area is especially suitable for the cultivation of red grape varieties, Kosie Steenkamp has undertaken extensive plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as Pinotage, Merlot and Shiraz.

Kosie's excellent labour relations, based on the caring attitude towards his staff, have resulted in a content workforce.

Since 1973, Kosie and Heléne are the owners of Groenland. Kosie is also the winemaker and Heléne runs the catering facility. The Steenkamps are secure in the knowledge that their commitment to producing premium wines will continue in the future. Their son, Piet, who studied agriculture to broaden his knowledge of viticulture, management and winemaking, joined the farm in 2001. He is married to Louise and they also live on Groenland.
