Winemaking & Heritage
Named after the historic Tulbagh Drostdy (a magistrate’s residence dating back to the early 1800s), Drostdy Hof wines reflect South African winemaking tradition with a modern twist. The Sauvignon Blanc is vinified in stainless steel tanks to preserve its natural freshness and fruit-forward character.
The grapes are harvested in the cool hours of early morning to lock in aromas, then gently pressed and cold fermented. The result is a refreshing and zesty wine with a clean, elegant profile.
