Stellenbosch Hills
The company has over 65 years of industry experience, having evolved from the old Vlottenburg Co-operative first established in 1945. In 2003 we changed our name to “Stellenbosch Hills” to reflect the broader spectrum selection of terroirs (beyond Vlottenburg) that we produce our wines from.
The fabulous wines we featured:
2010 Polkadraai Pinotage-Merlot
- Final blend: 70% Pinotage and 30% Merlot was assembled.
Tasting Notes: This fruity red serves up a rush of ripe aromas with ripe black fruit flavors.
2011 Polkadraai Chenin-Sauvignon
- Final blend: 70% Chenin Blanc and 30% Sauvignon Blanc was assembled.
Tasting Notes: Tropical fruit aromas mesh with summer grass on the nose of this unusual white blend with flavors of pineapple and melon.
Winemaker's Notes

Stellenbosch Hills sources its fruit from approximately 1,770 estate acres and premium growers in five areas (or wards) in Stellenbosch: Vlottenburg, Polkadraai, Vlaeberg, Lynedoch and Stellenbosch Cloof.
