Nomoya Wines
Nomoya literally means “With spirit” or “Spirited”, which says a lot about the (young) people behind this ambitious wine project. Talia Engelbrecht, the winemaker, personifies joy, enthusiasm and perfection. She provides a young, innovative and experimental drive to the Nomoya team. Together with the more experienced winemaker and marketer, Michela Sfiligoi and agronomist, Atilio Dalpiaz, they form the perfect team that makes Nomoya arguably one of Swartland's most promising wine estates, embodying one of the many wisdoms that Nelson Mandela has taught to South African people “A winner is a dreamer who never gives up!” Their first years were an immediate hit. The wines are made from monocepages of various South-African and European grape varieties. They are fermented separately in vats made of different materials (concrete, stainless steel and wooden barrels) in order to obtain a different character and style each time.

Ayama
The wine was named "Ayama", a Xhosa word meaning "someone to lean" means. The adventure of Ayama based on friendship and love. The Cape winelands are some of the most breathtakingly beautiful in the world. About 50 km from Cape Town, Paarl is situated beneath a large granite outcrop formed by three rounded domes, the prominent one named Paarl (which means pearl) rock. The summers are long and warm, and rainfall rare. A large variety of grapes are grown in Paarl, of which Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinotage, Shiraz, Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc have the best potential.

Groote Post
The Groote Post building was established in 1808 as (as the name suggests) a lookout post designed to protect cattle from theft by Hottentots and other tribes. After a long history, Father Pentz decided to purchase the building and give it a new purpose. The hills of Darling proved to be ideal for cultivating grapevines. With its distance of 7km from the sea, the vineyards can benefit from the cooling and regulating effect of the ocean. Today, the "Cool Climate" prevailing here is a significant advantage for the future. Meanwhile, brothers Peter and Nick Pentz have taken over the wine estate with great ambition. They further modernized it and continue to combine tradition with new innovative techniques to this day. The "Salt" range is a shining example of this. The surrounding environment and climatic conditions are used to introduce new, modern styles and techniques. Groote Post, a place with a great past but an even 'greater' future.

Currently, the Breedekloof wine region consists of only 22 producers. Together they want to significantly increase the quality of their valley. Zonneweelde and Slanghoek are among these pioneers.
