The Hidden Valley Range...

Hidden Valley is uniquely positioned to produce the best wines in two very different “terroirs”; namely Stellenbosch and Elim. The essence of the wines lies in the special location of our vineyards and the specific micro climates that surround our grapes. The Stellenbosch vineyards are high up, they enjoy the cooling breezes that come off False Bay, originating from the deep Atlantic.

Hidden Valley wines are made in the most non-interventionist manner. The winemaker deliberately allows nature to guide him in sculpting the wines. Phenolic ripeness, correct sugar levels and a quality before quantity approach allows only the best fruit to come into the cellar. A strict sorting regime, beginning in the vineyard with bunch selection straight from the vines is further enforced at cellar door, where two further screenings on the sorting tables both prior to de-stemming and after, ensures only the best quality grapes make their way to the tanks and barrels.

Owner Dave has the following view; “It is our mission to make wines that are fruit specific and represent the terroir from which they originate. We occupy the most awesome vineyard soil in the country so it is incumbent upon us to produce the very best fruit from which we make superlative wines. If we are going to make a cabernet sauvignon for instance, then we better be making the best there is off the Helderberg.”
