Cabriere
Home of Pierre Jourdan and Haute Cabrière Wines, the beautiful Cabrière Estate, situated on the banks of the Franschhoek River, was granted to the French Huguenot refugee farmer Pierre Jourdan on the 22 December 1694. Today, the proprietor Achim von Arnim continues the pioneering spirit by specialising in Cap Classique sparkling wines. In the tradition of Champagne he replanted the vineyards with the classic cultivars Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in 1982 and named his range of methode champenoise wines after the founder, Pierre Jourdan. Achim von Arnim's decades old belief is that wine is grown, not made.
