About Remhoogte Wine Estate:
Remhoogte Wine Estate is a family-run winery with vineyards nestled on the foothills of the Simonsberg mountain in Stellenbosch. The wines produced here benefit from ancient soils, steep slopes, and the cooling winds from the Atlantic Ocean. Each bottle reflects the story of the vineyards, the estate’s heritage, and its passion for winemaking and land preservation for future generations. The goal of Remhoogte Wine Estate is to bring joy to all who experience their wines and to make everyone feel like a part of the Remhoogte family.
“We believe wine is made in the vineyards, and our goal is to allow the vineyards to express themselves by interfering as little as possible. As a result we have adopted a minimalist approach in both the vineyards and the cellar. The idea being to minimize the human influence on the final product.” – Chris Boustred, Winemaker
All grapes are hand sorted in the cellar before they go into tank. Wild or naturally occurring yeasts are allowed to ferment the grapes before the wine is drained off the skins and allowed to mature in French oak barrels before being racked and bottled.
“I love opening a bottle of wine, it is like unlocking a time and place. You can experience the terroir of the wines origin and the climate that the vines experienced in the year the wine was made. This is also why I am passionate about Estate Wines, as you are drinking wine from a very specific place in a specific area.” – Rob Boustred
