Bot River
From the top of the Houw Hoek Pass one gets the first glimpse of the vast, rolling hills and big sky of the Bot River area, where real people make real wine. The credo of the Bot River Winegrowers Association emphasizes the unspoilt, down-to-earth, sociable character of the farmers in this pocket, surrounded as they are by ancient mountains and open skies. Our wines are for lovers of the road less traveled - they say. Within a 10km radius the wine lover can experience real country hospitality and taste wines made from the oldest vines in the region as well as the latest, most innovative varietals from new plantings. The earthy, friendly hospitality of winemakers tucked away between mountains is as warm as the welcome from modern, state of the art neighbours on the rolling hills. The common denominator is handcrafted, top quality wines, commitment to biodiversity and the desire to share hours of sociable sipping with fellow wine lovers.
