Windmeul Kelder

Windmeul Kelder Renowned for creating wines of distinction from the Paarl region that can be sampled in the relaxed The windmill was probably the finest in the country.

Windmeul Cellar is situated on the Northern Slopes of the Paarl Mountain in the heart of the Paarl Wine lands. The mill, to which Windmeul owes its name, was the center of economic activity in the area, at its time. There were twenty-seven mills in the Paarl area with the only one windmill being in Agter-Paarl. Research so far has revealed that the windmill, built by Mr Blake, a paarl miller, was

probably erected some time between 1884 and 1890. In this year the post office agency, called Windmeul, was established in Agter-Paarl alongside the mill. All that is now left is a shed that used to be one of the old millstones of a local school. Although the undertaking has passed into oblivion, the name Windmeul has remained and was adopted when a co-operative wine cellar was established in the area in 1944. The Windmeul Co-operative Cellar was registered on the 4th of September 1944 with twenty-three founder members. The 1946 crop was then the first to be pressed at Windmeul Cellar. A new wine center was officially opened by Mr J Scannell (Distell) on the 14th of October 2006. Now Windmeul is run by an elite team consisting of a 7 member board. The cellar has the capacity to process 14 500 tonnes of grapes, taken from 1700 hectares of vineyard from the various producing members.
