At Villiera we have an old, single bush vine vineyard with the weather station clone of Sauvignon Blanc. It has the ability to produce a unique, intense style that we felt was worthy of its own platform. The bush vine system is a traditional training method especially suited to unirrigated vineyards. The
limited yield ensures early ripening.


Villiera Wines is home to the Pebbles Project which enriches the lives of thousands of children in the Winelands of the Western Cape by focusing on 5 key areas: Education, Health, Nutrition, Community and Protection.


Villiera is keenly aware that sustainable agricultural production rests on the principle that the needs of today must be achieved without compromising the needs of the future. We maintain environmentally friendly vineyard practices and thanks to this holistic management of the vineyards, we can farm as naturally as possible without compromising the harvest.

We believe that the intensity of fruit from this old bush vine block allows it to benefit from barrel treatment. In 2024 the grapes were crushed and destalked to allow for 24 hour skin contact. The juice was then racked to barrels (80% new French oak / 20% older barrels) where it underwent spontaneous fermentation. Malolactic was avoided to retain freshness and batonage occurred weekly. After 6 months the wine was removed from barrel and was stabilized before bottling.
