Wines: Middelvlei Wines

12 red and 12 white Middelvlei Pinotage/Merlot and Rooster Sauvignon Blanc wines. Valued at R2 500

Situated at the foot of Devon Valley and overlooking the Bottelary Hills, Middelvlei wine farm is home to the Momberg family. Their story begins in 1919 when two brothers purchased the farm, and has continued for over one hundred years to grow around a strong sense of tradition and family ideals. Today, Brothers Ben and Tinnie Momberg apply the knowledge passed down to them through three generations of wine making to produce wine of exceptional quality and reputation.

Famous for our unique Free-run Pinotage, Middelvlei has shown time and again that traditional methods and attention to detail, both in the vineyard and cellar, hold sway when it comes to creating award winning wines. What we lack for in ostentation, we more than make up for in quality and a rustic authenticity that sets us apart. This approach spills over into our family friendly Boerebraai Restaurant, where we offer a traditional Braai lunch every day of the week, as well as braai-tapas and wine pairings to complement our range of Middelvlei wines.
