Sourced entirely from estate-grown grapes, this wine greets the senses with inviting aromas of crisp green apple and exotic passion fruit. These vibrant notes carry through to the palate, where they are complemented by a lively acidity that brings energy and brightness.
The wine’s refreshing character is beautifully balanced, with a clean, zesty finish that lingers gracefully, making it a delightful choice for pairing with fresh salads, seafood, or simply enjoying on its own.

Grapes from three vineyards blocks are picked at different stages of ripeness. There is no skin contact. The grapes are then pressed and fermented in 100% stainless steel tanks using a variety of yeasts strains.

Situated on the side of the majestic Middagkrans Mountains of the magnificent Franschhoek Valley, the west-facing La Petite Ferme is one of the more intimate wineries in the Cape Winelands. More than 300 years ago, when the Huguenots arrived, they brought with them their age-old French wine and food culture (Many of them were given land by the Dutch government in a valley called Oliphantshoek - Elephant Corner - so named because of the vast herds of elephants that roamed the area).
Soon after they settled here, it became known as Franschhoek (French Corner). Most of the wineries in Franschhoek still have their original French names and the homesteads are all Cape Dutch with gorgeous Oaks and luscious vineyards. These amazing vineyards that cover these mountain slopes boast a valley rich in history and are centered on a picturesque village of warm and friendly people.
