Hoopenburg is one of the Cape's foremost boutique wineries, with wines having gained a widespread reputation for high quality and excellent taste. We have a simple philosophy; "we produce new age wines in an old world style". This integrated textured wine is accessible and fruity, harvested from our immaculate vineyards with its traditional bush vines. We also pride ourselves in our ability to deliver service through a customer centric business approach.

Here at Hoopenburg we produce noble cultivars, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Shiraz, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Nourished by pure underground springs, our unique bush vines produce wines of exceptional taste. The moderate climate combined with the deep red soils, create ideal conditions for cultivating grapes of the highest quality.

This combination together with the micro climate and elevation is ideally suited to supply premium quality wines, much sought after in Europe and the rest of the world.

Our vineyards produce all the taste and flavours and are therefore appreciated as a vital asset. We use the latest scientific vine management and pruning techniques to optimise the wine quality. Our wine making process compliments the grapes natural potential. All our grapes are hand picked and with whole bunch pressing, hand plunging the best juices are extracted. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks or in open casks after which the wine is aged in French oak barrels. Depending on the style our winemaker will use these factors in varying combinations to suite our market, also selecting some of the finest grape parcels from around the Cape wine region, thus not limiting our vision or style.
