In the state-of-the-art cellar ultra-modern stainless steel tanks share the limelight with traditional open cement tanks – an old-new partnership that yields outstanding wines that meet with stringent international standards. A special small wood maturation cellar houses up to 300 oak barrels for those wines earmarked for wood maturation.

On 23 January 1998 the first grapes were removed from the stalks and crushed, heralding the start of a new era for the Viljoen family.  As a result of the brothers’ sheer passion for and dedication to the family’s winemaking tradition, augmented by a shared determination to create quality wines from the superb grapes produced on the farm, Viljoensdrift’s wines compare with the best in the world.  Numerous awards garnered at several highly regarded local and international wine competitions bear testimony to the success of their winemaking philosophy.
