Rijks Wine Estate

Founded in 1996, Rijks is located 120 kilometers northeast of Cape Town and 80 kilometers east of the Atlantic ocean in Tulbagh. The vineyards are in a mediterranean climate and focused on varietals that have the best expression of their terroir -- Syrah, Chenin Blanc and Pinotage. The Dorrington family have owned the farm since its founding and have grown this into a beautiful estate, and winemaker Pierre Wahl has been making Rijks' wine since 2002.
