Welgegund Wines

Welgegund Wines A family-owned, heritage estate in Wellington producing award-winning wines of distinction. Est.1777

At the end of an oak-lined cul de sac in wine country, Wellington, is a family-owned farm making tiny quantities of delightfully different wines. This is Welgegund, whose name, which translates as "well bestowed", gives hint of its natural attributes. South Africa's own cultivar, Pinotage, is at the heart of the three-wine range, while the equally popular Chiara blend of white Rhônal cultivars is

a four-star Platter's Guide laureate and frequent awards performer. Due for release is Ricco, a Mediterranean blend that, like its predecessors, is only to be made in limited amounts. Scenic and secluded, yet only 50 minutes from Cape Town CBD, a visit to Welgegund is a must for those who savour sumptuous wines, served up in a relaxed and friendly country vibe.

Our Old Vine Chenin Blanc and Old Vine Cinsault come from the same philosophy: vines with decades behind them, low yields, and as little interference as possible on the way to the bottle.

Old vines don't rush. They dig deep, carry less fruit, and concentrate everything they have into what's left. You taste that.

One is bright and textured. The other is soft, savoury and made for a slow table. Together they'll cover just about any meal you put in front of them.

Which one's in your glass tonight? 🥂

You can feel it before the calendar catches up, the afternoons that go on a little longer, the first evening warm enough to eat outside, the jacket you leave on the chair.

This is Rosé weather.

Ours is made for exactly this: chilled, poured generously, and shared over a long table with people in no particular hurry. Spring lunches, late braais, the first proper picnic of the season, it belongs to all of them.

Winter was lovely. But we're ready. 🥂

Honouring the women who shape Welgegund 🌿

Behind every label, every etching and every detail, there is artistry that shapes how Welgegund is seen and remembered.

This Women's Day, we celebrate the many women behind our label, among them Stacey Greve, the hand behind our Rosé; where botanical beauty meets heritage, bottled.

A label is the first thing you meet before the first sip, and Stacey's work carries a quiet detail that rewards a second look. We're honoured to have people like her behind our brand and part of our story.

Cheers to you, Stacey, and to the women behind the bottle. 🥂
