Seven Generations of Slanghoek Winemaking — in One Curated Box
The Louw family has been farming the Slanghoek Valley since 1847. Seven generations — from JC Rossouw’s original grant to winemaker Attie Louw fermenting naturally in the family cellar today — is a long time to get to know a piece of land. The Opstal Collection brings three of those estate wines together — straight from the family and the valley that made them.
Inside the Case
- Opstal Blush Rosé 2025 — Grenache, Carignan & Cinsault. Dry saignée-style rosé inspired by Provence. Pale salmon-pink, fresh strawberry, watermelon and fynbos, with a savoury mineral finish.
- Opstal Chenin Blanc 2024 — 100% Chenin Blanc, naturally fermented, six months in old French oak. Pineapple, pear and citrus with a creamy, textured mid-palate and lingering mineral finish.
- Opstal Cabernet Sauvignon / Cinsault 2024 — 75% Cab, 25% Cinsault (55% whole-bunch). Dark cherry, fresh herbs, juicy acidity and soft tannins. Food-friendly from the first pour.
The contents of the Opstal Collection may vary from time to time as new vintages are released.
Why You’ll Love It
This is a curated introduction to seven generations of Slanghoek winemaking. Each wine is naturally fermented, minimally intervened and rooted in one of the most distinctive wine valleys in the Cape. The rosé is mineral and savoury, the Chenin is creamy and lingering, the Cab/Cinsault is juicy and bright — between the three, there is a wine for every course, and one of the more considered wine gifts you’ll find.
Perfect Pairings
Serve the Blush Rosé with a summer starter — oysters, sashimi or a charcuterie board. Open the Chenin Blanc alongside grilled linefish, chicken or a Cape Malay curry. Save the Cab/Cinsault for a braai, a bolognaise or a casual Saturday dinner. Three wines, one gathering, one family story.
Our Guarantee
Every Opstal Collection is backed by our 100% Happiness Assured! Guarantee. If you’re not completely satisfied, we’ll make it right — no questions, no fuss. Just good wine from good people.
