Some weeks test a region in every possible way.
Thatās why it felt extra special as we watched a truck loaded with Wildekrans wines leave the farm bound for clients who continue to support local wine and local people. š·
Thereās relief in moments like these. And loads of gratitude too.
To everyone placing orders, visiting wine farms, attending wine festivals, opening a bottle at home or choosing South African wine on a restaurant list, thank you. Your support matters more than you know.

Itās been a very tough week across the Western Cape, and our thoughts are with everyone affected by the recent storms and flooding.
While power has been restored in some surrounding areas, there are still phases down affecting Wildekrans, which means we currently have no electricity on the farm, including our cottages. Our restaurant will be operating on a limited menu this weekend, and bookings will be limited while we work through the aftermath.
Thank you for your patience, kindness and continued support during this time. š¤

Wedding Wednesday š¤š
One thing we love about wedding season at Wildekrans is getting to work alongside incredible local businesses who help make each celebration that little bit more memorable. A special shout out to Old Harbour Beer/Hermanus Brewing Company for another great season of weddings together. Their super little beer tap has been such a hit with wedding guests and always adds something fun and memorable to the day.
Hereās to many more beautiful weddings together at Wildekrans. š»

To the women who pour love into every season of life.
The mothers, grandmothers, stepmoms, aunts, dog-moms and all the mother figures who make ordinary moments feel extraordinary.
Today we raise a glass to you. š„
Wishing you a Motherās Day filled with love, laughter, beautiful moments and the people who matter most.
Happy Motherās Day from all of us at Wildekrans Wine Estate. š¤
Some wines were made for these cold fronts sweeping across South Africa. š·š„
Our Barrel Select Reserve Cabernet Franc, one of the Wildekrans flagship wines, is the perfect fireside companion while the temperatures drop outside.
A soft first impression gives way to rich red fruit on the nose, layered with subtle fynbos notes. Smooth and beautifully balanced, with gentle tannins, blackcurrant and a lingering spicy depth that makes every sip worth slowing down for.
Best enjoyed with a generous steak, hearty meat dishes, and good company.
One to savour.

Our winemaker, De Wet Viljoen, at the recent Suidoosterfees Sauvignon Blanc tasting event. šš„
Always good catching up with two familiar faces in the wine world, Herman Horn from Crazy Wines and JP Quickelberge from VIA and Kelderklas.
Good wine, good conversation and a proper celebration of Sauvignon Blanc.

Thereās something about Sauvignon Blanc that just gets it right.
Crisp. Bright. A little wild around the edges.
Today weāre raising a glass to the variety that keeps things fresh, whether youāre at the coast, around a table with friends, or just stealing a quiet moment for yourself.
Ours? Think citrus, a hint of green fig, and that unmistakable lift that makes you go back for another sip.

Last week at The Salt Road Restaurant in Houghton was one of those food and wine pairings you wish you could bottle.
Each plate had a quiet confidence. Nothing overdone, just layered, thoughtful, and seriously good food, paired with seriously good wine. š
And then the salt ... subtle, steady, doing the heavy lifting in the background, tying it all together without stealing the show.
Add great people keen to learn more, a winemaker ready to share knowledge and a team that knows how to host, and it just landed.
