The People
Roodekrantz is a wine project by Marius Burger Junior and Senior, along with winemaker Danie Morkel. Their passion for old-vine Chenin and dedication to viticulture and hands-off winemaking are at the core of their philosophy. In just a couple of vintages, they have produced enthralling wines that are right up there with the best in South Africa.
The Vineyards
Roodekrantz is a wine project that is passionate about old-vine Chenin and dedicated to viticulture and hands-off winemaking. Their philosophy is based on the principle that wines are made in the vineyard. The vineyards that Roodekrantz uses are predominantly located in the Swartland and are planted in decomposed granite. The vineyard’s soil type is known for producing wines with a unique minerality and acidity. Roodekrantz’s commitment to organic and biodynamic farming and careful vineyard selection is therefore key to their results.
