De Grendel Wines

The Winery & Terroir

De Grendel is picturesquely situated in the Durbanville Hills, a stone's throw from Cape Town, offering one of the most spectacular views of Table Mountain and False Bay. This special location is key to the quality of the wines. The proximity to the Atlantic Ocean provides cool breezes that allow the grapes to ripen slowly, giving them remarkable freshness and aromatic diversity. In addition to the vineyards at the estate, De Grendel also cultivates unique high-altitude vineyards for the 'Op die Berg' range, which produce wines of exceptional elegance and complexity. This interplay of coastal and cool-climate terroir makes De Grendel a true gem of the Cape Winelands.

Wine Ranges in Our Collection

Our selection from De Grendel reflects the winery's diversity and class. At the top is the 'Rubaiyat', a legendary Bordeaux-style blend and the estate's flagship. Alongside it shines the 'Amandelboord Pinotage' from one of the oldest vineyards in the region. A special highlight is the 'Op die Berg' collection, sourced from high-altitude, cool-climate vineyards, yielding elegant wines like Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah. For festive moments, we offer the excellent 'Cap Classique Brut' and 'Proposal Hill Brut Rosé' sparkling wines. The range is rounded out by classic single-varietal wines such as the crisp Sauvignon Blanc, the full-bodied Shiraz, and the smooth Merlot.

Food Pairing

De Grendel's wines are versatile food companions. A crisp Sauvignon Blanc pairs perfectly with seafood, salads, or goat cheese. The 'Op die Berg Chardonnay' harmonises wonderfully with creamy risotto or roasted chicken. For red meat dishes, game, or a festive roast, the complex 'Rubaiyat' or the powerful 'Amandelboord Pinotage' is the ideal choice. The elegant 'Op die Berg Pinot Noir' is an excellent match for duck or mushroom dishes. And of course, a glass of MCC is always the right decision to toast special moments.

Price Range

You'll find a selection that offers something for every occasion and budget. The wines from De Grendel start at around €12 for the excellent estate wines and go up to over €120 for the iconic flagship blend 'Rubaiyat'.
