Villiera Abraham and The Heretics Pinotage (750ml)

Nestled in the Stellenbosch, Western Cape, Villiera is owned and run by the Grier family; its their fourth generation as a family-run business. Although they originally started in poultry, the family’s love for the outdoors continued to grow and soon vineyards were planted- the desired to figure out what was best to pair with their poultry grew and grew with the third generation starting the wine-side of the business in 1983. 

With vineyards run by Simon Grier since the winery’s inception, approximately 170ha are managed with yields at 8 tons per ha roughly. 50% red and 50% white varietals are planted with 40% being used for Cap Classique (sparkling production), 30% red wine production, and 30% white wine production. As a certified member of the Old Vine Project, Villiera emphasizes green energy, rainwater harvesting, water efficiency, and other sustainable projects when it comes to their vineyards- all IPW certified.
