The Arnoldus is Hermanuspietersfontein's flagship red wine: a harmonious and clearly structured, intensely flavored top-quality red wine – awarded 4 Platter stars. Thanks to the long aging in French barriques (26 months), the cuvée is rich in aromas and displays soft, well-integrated tannins. Aromas of plums, black olives, pepper spice, and cashews dominate the Hermanuspietersfontein Arnoldus. A versatile delight for wine lovers! Soft tannins and a voluptuous body with delicate intensity and good length.

Hermanuspietersfontein

… European elegance from the cool climate of the monopoly appellation “Sondagskloof”

Nestled amidst the mountains, approximately 50 km from South Africa's southernmost point, Cape Agulhas, not far from Hermanus, in the Walker Bay region, is this exceptional wine farm. Surrounded by characteristic fynbos and protea fields – the original vegetation of the Cape region – Hermanuspietersfontein produces Bordeaux and Rhône grape varieties par excellence in a magnificent "cool climate" terroir. Hermanuspietersfontein is the only active winery with 60 hectares of vineyards in the porous claystone "Sondagskloof" appellation. In this monopoly location, the internationally highly experienced winemakerWilhelm Pienaar and his young,
passionate team
(with an average yield of 34 hl/ha!!!) Wines with pronounced minerality, complexity, and elegance in a European style are created. French barriques and German single-barrel barrels are part of his tools when it comes to blending the grape varieties in the Hermanus winery. His Bordeaux interpretations, "Kleinboet" and "Arnoldus," from the Sondagskloof terroir, are among the finest South Africa has to offer. "Swartskaap"—a "masterpiece" vinified from pure Cabernet Franc, belongs to the absolute world class of single-varietal Cabernet Francs.

Walker Bay / Sondagskloof

The Walker Bay wine-growing region, like the nature reserve of the same name, is located near South Africa's southernmost tip, Cape Agulhas. Around the coastal town of Hermanus, vines that appreciate the cool maritime climate have displaced the long-established fruit cultivation in recent decades. The white varieties Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and Chardonnay, as well as Pinot Noir, Merlot, and Pinotage, are cultivated here. Several high-quality wineries have already established themselves within a short period of time, and further expansion of the vineyard area is expected in the future. The regional wines are distinguished by their expressive character, which can range from silky to rich and strongly spicy.
