In 2005 my friends Dillie Malherbe and Jannie Durand came up with an idea to create a wine that would not only embody all that is Stellenbosch, but also a wine that would pay homage to our great town. From our first vintage in 2006, the wine known as Stellenbosch Ridge, would comprise a blend of different varietals for every vintage. From the 2009 vintage the decision was made that in the future this wine will only be produced as a Bordeaux blend and with the onset of the 2013 vintage whereby a white wine is added to the line up and it has officially became known as The Stellenbosch Reserve.
