When you think of class and refinery in terms of wine producers, the first name to come to mind may very well be Grande Provence Heritage Wine Estate as the South Africans are some of the best in the business.

Simply stepping foot on their estate lets you know that they are a great outfit and have a rich history that speaks volumes for their future. Eye-catching statues and exhibitions adorn their site, meaning that a trip there is hard to forget. Despite being alcohol producers, Grande Provence are family-friendly and hold special events on a regular basis, meaning that people of all ages are welcome.

As for the wines themselves, you couldn’t ask for a better bottle and their bulging awards cabinet proves just that. They always seem to scoop the top prize wherever their vintage is showcased and if you’ve had the pleasure of sampling them before, you’ll know why. The utmost love and care goes into each drop they squeeze out of the lucrative harvests each season.

Grande Provence wines are certainly made to be savoured. The Franschoek family implores that you spend plenty of time appreciating the aromas of each glass and cherish every sip. From their complex and powerful shiraz through to their dark and fruity cabernet sauvignon, each product is an experience in of itself. The Grand Provence is their flagship wine and since being released in 2010, it has won the following awards: Silver – Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, May 2012, Double Gold – Michelangelo Wine Awards 2013, TM Mercurey Best Bordeaux Style Red Blend Trophy 2013.

Grande Provence have also grown in stature in recent years as they do not like to rest on their laurels and instead look to embrace any developments within the wine community. Since the turn of the decade, low sulphite wine has been on the rise and the South Africans have embraced this with their Angel’s Tears range. With low levels of not only sulphite but also price, these are great bottles of wine that are still high in quality.
