Cape Point Vineyards' Noordhoek Estate

Cape Point Vineyards' Noordhoek Estate in Noordhoek, Cape Town, South Africa | Wine

The Cape Point Vineyards are planted on two estates: Noordhoek, and Scarborough, situated on the Cape Point peninsula.
Cool sea breezes from the confluence of the two oceans of differing temperatures directly affects this narrow strip of land (11kms at its widest point) where grapes enjoy slow-ripening conditions, ideal for producing premium Wines.
Each of the three terroirs, with an excellent variety of soil & micro-climatic conditions, were selected for their specific suitability to the cultivation of particular varieties.
On the cool south-facing slopes of Noordhoek Estate, Sauvignon blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot noir, as well as Semillon were planted. The warmer north-facing slopes on Scarborough Estate were selected for their potential to produce premium red Wines, being planted to Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.
The establishment of these vineyards and the Cape Point Vineyards cellar (the only ones in the district) prompted the declaration of the new Cape Point Wine of Origin district in 1998.
