The producer
Who are they?
Boland Cellar was founded in Paarl in 1941 when nine growers decided to work together to make better wine and share farming knowledge. That collaborative idea remains central today. Grapes are sourced from several Western Cape areas, from Stellenbosch and Paarl to Paardeberg, Swartland and Darling. This range of origins gives the winemaking team a broad palette of sites and varieties while Paarl remains the winery's historic anchor.
