ARRA WINERY
Situated in the heart of South Africa's Cape Winelands, Arra Vineyards enjoys an ideal location on the Simonsberg-Stellenbosch Wine Route, where we grow, produce, and bottle all our wines. The Klapmuts Mountain provides us with an abundance of water and shelters us from the Cape's south-easterly winds, while providing our vines with ideal soils and north facing slopes for ample sunshine.
Using only the finest French oak barrels, our wines are matured for up to 24 months, while being constantly monitored to maintain their deep, fruit flavours, and creamy textures. At Arra Vineyards, we are also dedicated to ensuring that our wines reach maturity in the bottle before we release them for sale.
Our award-winning wines are produced with grapes harvested from our own vineyards. The soils and vines are meticulously managed. In order to provide top quality grapes, we ensure low yields on our vines, and harvest them at the peak of their maturity for immediate wine production.
