Dating back to 2001 when the first Hill&Dale wines were made and introduced to the market in 2003. It is the delicate balance between the team ’ s passion and sourcing the finest Stellenbosch grapes that allow their wines to be modern and unpretentious, yet classic and authentic. Their vineyard soil types range from decomposed granite on the hillsides near the mountains to sandy, alluvial loam in the valleys near the rivers.
