5 W Winery an authorise reseller of Veenwouden South Africa Wine, located at Northern side of Paarl on the Parrl/Wellington Road. with spectacular views over the Klein Drakenstein Mountains.
The planting of the new vineyards commenced in 1989, and by 1993 12 hectare was finally under wine vines. As the most famed vineyard in Paarl, Veenwouden adopts Bordeaux -style viticulture and winemaking.
The Vineyards
- Veenwouden is wholly contained within a valley, and the vineyards lie on a gentle slope, facing northeast towards the Berg River. From the Atlantic Ocean, some 60 Km away, cool breezes penetrate the valley to influence the local climate in an almost Mediterranean way. Good winter rainfalls and with average annual temperature generally ranging between 20~23 degrees celsius, ensure excellent growth.
- The cool rich ferrous clay subsoil of Veenwouden is quite unique for this area, and fortuitously happens to be superb soil for especially the Merlot and Cabernet France grape.
The Cellar
-
The Boutique cellar is loosely based on the functionality of the smaller Pomerol/St. Emilion Chateaux, combining the architectual charms of Tuscany, Provence, and the Cape.
-
In the past two decades, under Mr Marcel Van Der Wart, a legendary winemaker's dedicated management, the cellar has earned many awards in South Africa and over the world. As a rising star in the wine world, its reputation reaches to Switzerland, Germany, USA, Japan and Hongkong.
