At Hoopenburg we follow and believe in the principle of farming environmentally friendly and responsible. The South African wine industry has excepted an Integrated production of wine(IPW) program to which the all producers of grapes and wine has committed to. IPW regulations are followed to ensure that all our grapes are produced in harmony with nature to ensure sustainable wine production for the future.
We focus on the production noble cultivars, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Shiraz, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Nourished by pure underground water, our unique bush vines produce grapes of exceptional taste and flavor. The moderate climate of our area combined with the good soils helps us to further achieve growing top quality grapes.
Our wine making process complements the grapes natural potential. All our grapes are handpicked and sorted to have only the best juices extracted. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks or in open casks after which the wine is aged in French oak barrels. Depending on the style our winemaker will use these factors in varying combinations to suite our market.
