LOURENSFORD HISTORY
Lourensford Wine estate is situated not far from Cape Town in a town called Somerset West in South Africa and is part of the Stellenbosch wine region. Lourensford Estate was once part of the neighbouring Vergelegen farm, which was established by Willem Adriaan van der Stel in 1709.
The Estate has a proud history as a world class fruit farm and the winemaking tradition was revived when Dr Christo Wiese purchased Lourensford in 1998.
Early History
The earliest traces of human activity in the Hottentots Holland Valley are to be found at Grootnek and Uitzicht, two locations deep in the heart of Lourensford Estate. The Uitzicht stoneage midden has early and middle stoneage artifacts (150 000 – 200 000 years BC) that are leached out of the soil by winter rains.
The Lourensford vineyards are surrounded by spectacular mountains overlooking False Bay – sea breezes and fresh air cool down summer temperatures by up to five degrees Celsius. Rainfall figures can be hign and an eager South Easter breeze indicates a traditional European-type Terroir although it is situated on the Southern tip of Africa.
Lourensford wine estate was awarded the SA Terroir Wine Awards in 2024 and received the Top Wine Estate and Top Single Vineyard wine awards.
