Deetlefs DISCOVER A HERITAGE THAT CANNOT BE BOUGHT...
Newsletter - September 2009
This beautiful estate is situated in the picturesque Breede River Valley just outside Rawsonville at the foot of the Du Toitskloof Mountains. It has been in the Deetlefs family since 1822. Kobus Deetlefs with his family are the sixth generation to live on the farm in the original Cape Dutch homestead overlooking the magnificent award-winning gardens. Deetlefs Wine Estate is the 3rd oldest wine estate under ownership of the same family in South Africa.
Hierdie pragtige landgoed, gelee aan die voet van die Du Toitskloofberge net buite Rawsonville, is al vanaf 1822 in die Deetlefs familie. Kobus Deetlefs en sy gesin is die 6de geslag wat in die oorspronklike Kaaps Hollandse huis met sy prag tuine woon. Deetlefs Landgoed is die 3de oudste wynlandgoed in Suid Afrika wat deur dieselfde familie besit word.

An ever increasing favourite is the Deetlefs Estate Chardonnay 2007 which is not to be missed and is the perfect wine for those in-between spring days that lie ahead.

Try it with a golden homemade Chicken pie – recipe on our website under "LATEST NEWS".
