Wine guide

Elegance from South Africa's 'French Corner'

The Estate & Terroir

Grande Provence is located in the picturesque Franschhoek Valley, South Africa's so-called 'French Corner'. This historic wine region, shaped by the French Huguenots, offers ideal conditions for growing classic grape varieties. The unique terroir, with its diverse soils and favourable climate, allows for the production of wines with distinct character, depth, and elegance. Grande Provence is known for combining this heritage with modern winemaking to create wines of exceptional quality.

Wine Ranges in Our Collection

Our selection from Grande Provence reflects the winery's diversity and quality. The Angels Tears range offers uncomplicated, fruit-forward enjoyment for every day – from the crisp Sauvignon Blanc and gentle Rosé to the fruity red blend. A step above is the main Grande Provence range with single-varietal wines like Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Shiraz, which impressively reflect the Franschhoek terroir. For special moments, we recommend the Cap Classique, a sparkling wine made in the traditional method, available as Brut and Rosé. At the top are the iconic The Grande Provence wines – complex and age-worthy cuvées like 'The Red' and 'The White', as well as 'The Amphora', which is matured in clay amphorae.

Food Pairing

The versatility of the wines makes them ideal food companions. The Angels Tears wines pair excellently with light dishes, salads, or simply as an apéritif. A Grande Provence Sauvignon Blanc harmonises wonderfully with seafood and fish, while the Cabernet Sauvignon or Shiraz is a perfect partner for grilled meats and hearty stews. The Cap Classiques are ideal for festive occasions and pair well with oysters or light appetisers. A bottle of 'The Grande Provence Red' will elevate any celebratory meal.

Price Range

Grande Provence wines offer something for every budget. The accessible and popular Angels Tears collection is available from around €11. The single-varietal wines of the Grande Provence range are in the mid-price segment. The premium sparkling wines and the flagship cuvées like 'The Grande Provence' are in the higher price range, reflecting their exceptional quality and ageing potential.
