Landskroon Estate

The winery is located in Suider-Paarl in the South African wine district Paarl (Coastal Region). Its origins date back to 1692, when the then Dutch governor Simon van der Stel (1639-1712) allocated land to Jacques de Villiers, a Huguenot immigrant from France. His great-grandson Paul de Villiers bought part of the original farm in 1874 and founded the winery. Today it is managed by the brothers Paul and Hugo de Villiers and Paul jr. in already 9th family generation. The total estate comprises 600 hectares of vineyards, about half of which are cultivated with vines. The vineyards extend south over the foothills of the Paarl Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean. Red wine varieties are cultivated to 70%, these are Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Cinsaut, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Pinotage and Shiraz. The white wine varieties are Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Morio-Muscat and Sauvignon Blanc. Varieties for port wine production are Souzâo(Vinhão), Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz(Tempranillo) and Touriga Nacional. The flagship is "Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve".
