THE HISTORY OF THE CELLAR
Calitzdorp Wine Cellar was established in 1928 and produced wine for Distell until the late eighties. During the eighties, Sweet Muscadel and Hanepoot were flagship wines and are still amongst our best sellers.
Our first red wines were made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Shiraz, Pinotage, Tinta Barocca, Touriga Nacional, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc were planted in the early nineties.
In the last 13 years, cellar production increased from 2000 tons to 5000 tons. The Cellar has been awarded Champion Cooperative Winery of the Little Karoo twice and performs very well at The SA Young Wine Show as well as the Veritas Competition. Our Hanepoot and Port have been classed SA Champions at the SA Young Wine Show and awarded with the prestigious Etchell (Hanepoot) and (Port) trophies.
ABOUT OUR WINEMAKER
Meet our new winemaker - Jim De Kock
Our winemaker, Jim de Kock grew up in the Montagu region and continued to study at Stellenbosch University as well as the Stellenbosch Business School. Jim started his winemaking career at Ladismith Cellar, whereafter he moved to Paarl Wine Company. After his time there, he joined the team at Rietrivier Winery, before moving on to Orange River Cellars where he made wine for ten and a half years.
He then decided to take some time out to concentrate on his MBA studies. Despite making this move, he realised that his true passion is with winemaking, and decided to take up the exciting opportunity to make wine at Calitzdorp Cellar in 2019.
