Encompassing 11 esteemed wine estates and 2 olive producers, this picturesque valley begs exploring. These winelands incorporate over 250 years of winemaking knowledge to produce, amongst other cultivars, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chenin Blanc, and Columbar to national acclaim and account for producing close to 25% of South Africa’s total volume of wine and spirits, making it one of the most valuable winemaking areas in the country.
The Breede River Valley follows the line of an ancient geological fault which, in the Worcester area, cuts across the zone of intersection of the north-south and west-east limbs of the Cape Fold Belt. The landscapes of the Breede River Valley owe their origin to this folding, followed by downward slippage of rocks to the south of the Worcester Fault. This slippage created an elongated valley, bordered to the north and south by the Langeberg and Riviersonderend mountains, respectively. Erosion and the meandering of the early Breede River widened the valley, which in places deposited boulders, gravel and finer materials. The undulating lowlands of the valley floor, and the slopes of the valley offer a variety of soils and locations for possible viticultural utilisation.
The Toontjiesrivier, which runs through the farm is an example of a syncline that has been filled with flood grit, originating from the schism products of the adjacent Table Mountain Sandstones. Over the years the Toontjiesrivier has carved deep into these tertiary terrace grits.
