Ridgeback
Ridgeback Wines is situated in the northern part of Paarl, on the northern slopes of the magnificent Paarl mountain. The farm extends over an area of 65 hectares. Retaining the rich heritage of the countryside’s proteas and fynbos, which flourish in the region, is a priority that they are deeply and continuously committed to. The vineyards are amongst the finest in the Cape, and the winery, which overlooks a small dam, is home to an abundance of Koi fish which add to the beauty and peaceful ambience of this tranquil environment.
A total of 35 hectares are currently under vine with the potential to increase the capacity further. In order to enable the winemaker to produce an exciting array of blends and single varietal wines, the farm has planted a wide variety of different cultivars.
