Arendsig wines have
risen out of the legacy of five generations of farmers
at Wolvendrift. Situated on the Breede River between
Robertson and Bonnievale the farm benefits from the
cool morning dew and the Southern afternoon breeze.
Here the fish eagles fly overhead, their distinctive
call echoing above the vineyards.
Traditionally a deciduous fruit and wine grape farm
it was only in 2004 that Lourens van der Westhuizen
began establish a boutique winery and the first generation
of winemakers began. Working as an equal partner in
the vineyards with his father Frikkie, Lourens has
carefully mapped the farm to plant vines in soils
most suited to them.
This combination of maturity and youth has created
well-balanced vineyards with top quality grapes. It
is these carefully selected grapes that Lourens is
now able to shape into the Arendsig hand-crafted range
of wines.
