Excellence through Elevation
OUR VERTICAL VINEYARD LEGACY
Reaching our high-planted vineyards presents a challenge for most machinery. Instead, we harvest our grapes solely by hand, ensuring each bunch is meticulously inspected for peak quality before being picked.
In The Heart of Constantia Valley Winelands
Eagles’ Nest is cradled in the renowned Constantia Valley Winelands. Our wine farm features some of the steepest vineyards in South Africa, reaching heights from 100m to 400m above sea level. Our signature of finesse in our wines is derived from the cooler climate conditions that our vines are exposed to as a result of this elevation. This together with the influence of cool ocean breezes from False Bay, delivers wines of distinctive character that can’t be found elsewhere.
Tasty wines from the small but award winning vineyard so don’t pass the opportunity to enjoy an afternoon tasting.
