Leeuwenkuil Family Vineyards
The Leeuwenkuil winery (Lion's Den) dates back to 1693. It is named after the ferocious Cape lion, which was spotted on the territory of the current farm in ancient times, hunting cattle along the banks of the Mosselbank and Hans Lawrence rivers.
The farm mainly supplied grapes to other farms. Only in 2012 a new course of development was adopted and the Dreyer family, with the help of a professional team of winegrowers, winemakers and wine industry experts, launched the production of wines under their own brands. They acquired the winery and two neighboring farms, and became the largest landowners in the Swartland region.
Today, the Leeuwenkuil estate is rightfully one of the largest private wineries in the country. Wines under their own lines are produced only from mature vines that have reached the age of 15 years or more.
