Groot Phesantekraal Wines and Restaurant

Groot Phesantekraal Wines and Restaurant Groot Phesantekraal is managed by the Brink family as a Farm, award wining Wine Estate, & Restaurant By 1756, 40 000 vines had already been established.
(503)

In 1698 Governor Simon van der Stel Granted the farm Groot Phesantekraal to it’s first owner Captain Oloff Berg. In 1897 the Brink family acquired the farm. Although the farm produced grapes over the years it was only in 2005 when the first wine was released. The 930ha farm of which 60ha are under vine is situated on the north eastern side of Durbanville. Currently only 18tons are harvested for ow

n use, with the remainder sold to other cellars. Grape varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Pinotage, Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc. Being passionate about good wine made the decision for Andre and Ronelle to make their own wine come naturally. Building from strength to strength we are currently in the process of growing our boutique winery including constructing our own red wine maturation cellar and fully fledged wine cellar facilities. Andre and Ronelle Brink invite wine and food lovers to share in their love of good wine and food to experience Groot Phesantekraal and what it has to offer. Winemaker: Richard Schroeder

Some of our most exciting work won’t be tasted for years.

This month, our team planted a new Chenin Blanc vineyard block on the farm, marking the beginning of a journey that will take years to unfold. Before a bottle reaches your table, before a wine earns awards, before a vintage is released, there are years of careful planning, planting and nurturing behind the scenes.

For us, planting a new block is an investment in the future. It’s a commitment to the continued evolution of the variety that has become such an important part of the Groot Phesantekraal story. As these young vines establish themselves over the coming years, they will contribute to the character, complexity and quality of future vintages, helping us continue to explore what Chenin Blanc can express from our corner of Durbanville.

Luckily, you don’t have to wait years to enjoy great our Chenin Blanc.

Our current Chenin collection is still available on promotion for a few more days. From our award-winning Anna de Koning Chenin Blanc to our Cape Town Chenin Blanc and Sparkling Chenin Blanc, there’s never been a better time to stock up on your favourites.

Visit the link in our bio to shop the collection before the promotion ends on 30 June.

Vandag vier ons nie net 'n pa nie, maar 'n man wat deur sy voorbeeld inspireer.

André se liefde vir sy familie, sy werksetiek en sy vermoë om mense om hom te laat groei, laat 'n blywende indruk op almal wat hom ken. As pa, oupa en leier wys hy elke dag dat ware sukses gemeet word aan die mense wat jy ondersteun, inspireer en lief het.

Dankie vir die voorbeeld wat jy vir jou kinders en kleinkinders stel en vir die nalatenskap wat jy elke dag bou.

Aan André en al die ander ongelooflike vaders daar buite: Gelukkige Vadersdag! Mag julle dag gevul wees met familie, goeie geselskap en 'n glas Groot Phesantekraal om die spesiale oomblikke saam te vier. 🍷

What Your Favourite Chenin Says About You 🍷

Some people choose a Chenin Blanc.
Others choose a whole personality.

Are you the organised one who somehow always knows the best table in the restaurant? The friend who turns an ordinary Tuesday into a celebration? Or the easy-going adventurer who’s always up for one more story, one more glass and one more detour?

Whatever your Chenin personality looks like, there’s a bottle with your name on it.

All three are currently on promotion as part of Chenin Blanc Month. Follow your personality. Trust your instincts. Stock up accordingly.

What happens when you put media personalities, winemakers, cocktail enthusiasts and Julian Short in the same room?

Apparently, this.

A few cocktails, a lot of laughter, and absolutely no regrets.

Unfiltered cocktail experiences. Unfiltered moments.

A disposable camera on every table. No content plan. No second takes. No filters.

Just good wine, great cocktails, creative minds, and a room full of people who know how to enjoy an afternoon on the farm.

These photographs capture The Garden Party exactly as we remember it: glasses raised, stories shared, cocktail ideas scribbled onto napkins, friendly competition, and plenty of laughter in between.

The best moments are rarely the ones we plan for. They’re the spontaneous conversations, the blurry snapshots, the unexpected smiles, and the memories that somehow feel even better when captured on film.

So here’s a look back at a day spent celebrating Chenin Blanc, creativity, and the joy of gathering around a table together.

And if these images leave you feeling thirsty, all six cocktail recipes from our collaboration with The Flavourist are now available on our website. Visit the link in our bio to discover the collection.

Some moments don't need words.

Just a view, a shared silence, and time spent together.

This Father's Day, celebrate the man who has always been there with a memorable farm-to-table lunch at Groot Phesantekraal. Gather around the table and enjoy an afternoon of exceptional food, fine wine, and meaningful moments.

📅 Saturday, 21 June
🕛 12:00 – 15:30
💰 R550 per person

The afternoon begins as every memorable meal should – with freshly baked farm bread shared around the table, accompanied by seasonal butter, smoked olives and house-made pickles. As conversations flow, guests can choose from a selection of starters that celebrate the flavours of the farm, from tender Phesantekraal Buffalo carpaccio to a Prawn and Pork Scotch Egg, or a comforting bowl of barley and vegetable soup.

The journey continues with generous farm-inspired mains, where slow-cooked and glazed Fallow Deer Shank takes centre stage alongside hearty Farm Chicken Pies with mushroom gravy. Lamb rib, creamy cauliflower cheese gratin, crisp Caesar salad and roasted pumpkin with goat's cheese complete a feast rooted in the land and the season.

To end on a sweet note, dessert offers a choice between a nostalgic Bread and Butter Pudding served with homemade vanilla ice cream and boeretroos, or a decadent Frozen Millionaire's Shortbread Tiramisu. The perfect finale to a leisurely afternoon shared with family and friends.
