About Anwilka:

Based at the south end of Stellenbosch, with views of False Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, the 40-hectare red wine property is planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Petit Verdot.

Proximity to the sea provides a specific microclimate that, together with the old ferricrete soils, are perfect for producing rich and focused wines.

Under the guidance of internationally well-known Bordeaux wine personalities Hubert de Boüard (co-owner of Château Angélus in Saint-Emilion) and Bruno Prats (former owner of Château Cos d’Estournel in Saint-Estèphe), Anwilka has established a worldwide reputation for this red blend which has been described by Robert Parker as "the best red wine I have ever had from South Africa".
