Cape Rock Wines is situated 300km north from Cape Town and 30km east from Doringbaai on the West Coast between the towns of Vredendal and Klawer. The vineyards are located on a single 11 hectare farm just above the banks of the Olifants river floodplain.  The Cape Rock brand was established in 2001 when they started to make bulk wine on their farm to add value to the grapes they grew for the cooperative. Their first Their total production currently varies between 12000 and 20 000 bottles per year depending on the yield and quality of the grapes.

The Cape Rock philosophy is simple; we aim to create wines that are balanced and speak of place. We aim to use varieties for their virtues, one ads spice, the other acid, tannin, colour, body etc.  We will always try to make use of natural yeast to ferment healthy grapes and never use new barrels to age our wines.  Some people believe that winemaking is about displaying textbook characteristics of what a variety should taste like in a certain area. For us wine is all about enjoyment and lightness, it should be a refreshing beverage.
