Stanford
Sir Robert Stanford found the climate and soils of this area perfectly suited to growing vegetables and fruit to supply passing ships more than a century ago, and Stanford still has a more moderate climate than the surrounding towns, perfect for the cultivation of grapes.
The young wine growers of this pocket have selected their soils well and the wines coming from the dune sands of Springfontein or the rocky hillsides of Raka, the fertile slopes of Robert Stanford Estate and Stanford Hills, each express their own terroir in remarkable style.
An hospitable, country atmosphere and warm welcome await visitors to the cellars and restaurants.
