Wineries
Klein Genot
In 2007, Klein Genot proudly rolled out its maiden harvest of red varietals with just over 20 hectares of vineyards and the intention of creating young, modern wines. As of October 2008 the vintage will be produced in a new cellar that will be constructed on the estate, offering a restaurant and function facilities.

Klein Dauphine
We came to Franschhoek from the UK in April 2001 having purchased Auberge La Dauphine. In September 2002 we acquired the small adjoining vineyard with established Merlot vines in desperate need of care and attention. In February 2003 a small harvest was picked. It was processed & put into just 2 barrels by us with expert advice & guidance from Dominic Burke the award winning wine maker at La Corounne.
After 20 months maturing in the barrels, 445 bottles were filled and the result – a powerful full-bodied but soft Merlot, high alcohol – has been enjoyed by family and friends.
