Planted over 300 years ago, the vineyards of La Provence Estate now span more than 100 hectares in the heart of the Cape Winelands. Today, the estate produces over 700 tons of premium wine grapes annually.

The first 50 tons are handpicked by winemaker Johan van Rensburg to craft his signature Eagle Rock wines—made in the original La Provence Cellar, a heritage landmark.

Grape Varieties

The Estate Winery at La Provence Vineyard Cottages grows both white and red wine grapes, including:

White: Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Semillon

Red: Pinotage, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz

From the 2013 harvest alone, Johan produced 30,000 bottles—primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and Chenin Blanc, alongside handcrafted classics like Pinotage, Shiraz, Merlot, and Chardonnay.

Wine Labels

The Estate Winery offers two boutique wine brands:

Named after Johan and Carin's children, each bottle reflects family heritage and Franschhoek terroir.

Paul Roux – Cabernet Sauvignon blend with notes of strawberry, blackcurrant, and oak spice

Rouxanne – Rosé of Cabernet & Chenin Blanc, floral with hints of spice

Madelé – Chenin Blanc, golden with honey and guava
