Arendsig Wine Farm | Robertson Wine Valley

Throwback to a wonderful visit to Arendsig Wine Farm located between Bonnievale and Robertson and is a family-owned estate known for producing high-quality, single-vineyard wines. Surrounded by the majestic Langeberg Mountains, the farm benefits from a unique terroir, offering optimal conditions for viticulture.

Arendsig, meaning “Eagle’s View” in Afrikaans, was established by Lourens van der Westhuizen in 2004. His family has deep roots in agriculture, with a passion for farming and a dedication to the land that has been passed down through generations. Lourens, a skilled winemaker, saw the potential of the estate’s vineyards to produce wines that truly reflect the unique characteristics of their location.

The estate focuses on producing single-vineyard wines. This approach allows the wines to showcase the distinct nuances of the soil, climate and location. By maintaining a hands-on approach from the vineyard to the bottle, Lourens ensures that each vintage is an authentic expression of its environment.
