Franschhoek Cellar Wines

The Winery & Terroir

Franschhoek Cellar is picturesquely located at the entrance to the Franschhoek Valley, one of South Africa's most prestigious wine regions. The name 'Franschhoek' – the 'French Corner' – harks back to the French Huguenots who introduced winemaking to the area in the 17th century. Today, Franschhoek Cellar is a modern winery that proudly reflects the region's heritage and terroir in every bottle. The valley's diverse soils and unique microclimate allow for the cultivation of an impressive range of grape varieties, from zesty white wines to powerful reds.

Wine Ranges in our Selection

In our Franschhoek Cellar selection, you'll find a wonderful assortment that showcases the winery's diversity. The foundation is a range of accessible, single-varietal wines like the crisp Sauvignon Blanc, creamy Chardonnay, fruity Chenin Blanc, and of course, the South African classics Pinotage, Merlot, and Shiraz. A special highlight are the elegant sparkling wines made using the traditional method – the Methode Cap Classique (MCC). Discover the MCC Brut Royale for festive moments or the delicate MCC Brut Rosé. For special occasions, we recommend the iconic red wine 'The Last Elephant', a complex and age-worthy wine that represents the winery's premium tier.

Food Pairing

The wines from Franschhoek Cellar are fantastic food companions. A chilled Sauvignon Blanc or Chenin Blanc pairs excellently with seafood, light salads, or goat cheese. The Rosé is the perfect wine for a relaxed lunch in the sun. Among the reds, the Pinotage harmonizes perfectly with a hearty South African braai (BBQ), while the Cabernet Sauvignon or Shiraz are ideal with stews and grilled steak. The MCCs are not only a delight as an aperitif but also accompany oysters or light appetizers.

Price Range

Franschhoek Cellar wines offer excellent value for money and are an ideal introduction to the world of South African wines. The collection starts from around €12.
