Koopmanskloof, nestled in the Bottelary Hills of Stellenbosch, has a viticultural heritage stretching back to 1777. The Smit family has stewarded the farm since the late 19th?century, fostering a legacy of sustainability, community engagement, and ethical wine production. As one of the world’s first Fairtrade-certified wine producers (since 2007), Koopmanskloof champions social responsibility with 51% black employee shareholding and inclusive governance.
Spanning over 430 hectares of vineyards and a 98-hectare private nature reserve of indigenous fynbos, the farm blends natural heritage with premium grape cultivation. Visitors can explore its rich history, sustainable farming practices, and award-winning wines, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Chenin Blanc, Merlot, Shiraz, and Carignan.
Koopmanskloof is more than a winery; it is a living testament to ethical leadership, ecological stewardship, and winemaking excellence.
