Arendsig wines have risen out of the legacy of five generations of farmers at Wolvendrift. Situated on the Breede River between Robertson and Bonnievale the farm benefits from the cool morning dew and the Southern afternoon breeze. Here the fish eagles fly overhead, their distinctive call echoing above the vineyards.

Traditionally a deciduous fruit and wine grape farm it was only in 2004 that Lourens van der Westhuizen began establish a boutique winery and the first generation of winemakers began. Working as an equal partner in the vineyards with his father Frikkie, Lourens has carefully mapped the farm to plant vines in soils most suited to them.

This combination of maturity and youth has created well-balanced vineyards with top quality grapes. It is these carefully selected grapes that Lourens is now able to shape into the Arendsig hand-crafted range of wines.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
