Hillcrest Estates
Wine Farms January 10th, 2008
Hillcrest Estate just a drop away from Durbanville Hills was my second stop on my visit to Cape Town and I simply loved the olive tasting and the friendly serving of their awesome wine.
I bought one of their bottles there and it was the best dry white wine I have tasted in a long time. The Hillcrest Sauvignon Blanc 2006 !!!
From their Website : http://www.hillcrestfarm.co.za/ !
Hillcrest Estate, nestled in the rocky Tygerberg Hills, Boasts a panoramic view of Table Mountain, Robben Eiland and northwards, along the West Coast. Historically, a stone quarry on the estate supplied material for the construction of Cape Towns roads.
The Farm was and still is head quarters to the engineering company Haw & Inglis. However due to it’s prime location and suitability to olive and wine farming it has slowly transformed into a working farm producing high quality olives, oils and wine.
These Projects have been spearheaded by the original founders and engineers of Haw and Inglis.
Engineers have become farers, a biologist a winemaker and the success of these transformations is proof that with dedication and determination anything is possible.
