    Product description

    This 40 hectares estate and award winning winery has been producing wine for over 300 years.

    Philosophie is a brave endeavour to marry the mind, the heart and the soil while celebrating the diversity of the estate.

    Aged for 14 months on the lees with an additional 8 months in barrels. Complex and sedudctive aromas of dark chocolate, black cherry, raspberry and sundried tomato with hints of truffle, vanilla pod and subtle graphite undertones. Full-bodied and concentrated on the palate with broad tannins.

  • About the producer

    About the producer: Vondeling

    This estate is located around the highest peak of the Paardeberg where there is one the Cape’s original Signal Cannons, which was once used to communicate to farmers that a ship had arrived in Cape Town’s Table Bay Harbour. Today, Julian Johnsen, Anthony Ward, and Richard Gower own this historic 40 hectare farm which has a three century old wine making tradition and ideal terroir. South-facing slopes, decomposed granite soil and long afternoon south westerly winds give their wines wonderful vibrancy and character.

    Multi award winning winemaker Matthew Copeland constantly searches to improve his wines. He likes to experiment with skin ferments and extended macerations whilst practising minimal intervention to retain freshness and natural characteristics. The wines are firm favourite in the Voor-Paardeberg region of Paarl. View our selection.
