Activities
Located against the Klein Dassenberg mountains in the Cape Winelands, South Africa one can find the quaint Mont Rochelle Boutique Wine Cellar, with its unique character and layout due to its historic origin. Previously a fruit packing shed, the Mont Rochelle Wine Cellar in Franschhoek dates back 150 years.
The Mont Rochelle vineyards were first planted in 1994. In 2001 Miko Rwayitare bought the farm and became the first black African to own a wine farm in South Africa.
Mont Rochelle Mountain Vineyards is a farm where 16 of the 33 ha is under vine and boasts sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, merlot, shiraz and cabernet sauvignon. Included are small blocks of mouvedre, petit verdot, viognier and the newly grafted semillon.
The Mont Rochelle Vineyards are situated from 250m to 400m above sea level, which gives a wide range of micro climates. Mediterranean-like conditions found in the Western Cape of South Africa means dry summers and high winter rainfalls of 1000mm. The Franschhoek valley also experiences the south-easter which also helps bring in cooler air allowing for a longer ripening period, lending a hand to more physiologically ripe fruit.
Guests are welcome to visit the Mont Rochelle tasting centre any day of the week. The friendly staff is happy to introduce visitors to the wines and will answer all questions about the wine making process.
