Product History & Little-Known Facts

Durbanville Hills is a relatively young winery, established in 1999, but it has quickly become one of South Africa’s leading producers, thanks to its ideal growing conditions and innovative winemaking techniques. The estate’s location, overlooking Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean, provides a perfect microclimate for cultivating Shiraz grapes. The cool breeze from the ocean helps slow down the ripening process, allowing the grapes to develop their full spectrum of flavours.

An interesting fact about Durbanville Hills Shiraz is its use of oak barrels for aging. The wine is matured in a combination of French and American oak, which imparts the distinctive spicy and vanilla undertones that balance the dark fruit flavours.
