Photo Album
The vineyard was established in 1987 with initial plantings of sauvignon blanc and cabernet sauvignon vines in the meadow on the southern side of the ephemeral stream that bisects the estate. All vines are extremely vigorous due to highly fertile soils. Biodynamic viticulture is practiced throughout the estate. We also have more unusual Northern Rhone varieties such as viognier, marsanne, roussanne.
Both new and old-world methods of winemaking are utilized in the winery in order to allow maximum fruit expression and complexity. Fruit is hand picked and graded using only grapes displaying maximum flavour and good acidity balance.
Functions have become a trademark of the winery. Tailored to suit individual needs they are held in an ambience not to be forgotten. Weddings, conferences, meetings or any important ocassion is catered for with panache and professionalism.
Whether it's a gathering of family and friends or a corporate/small business celebration, djinta djinta creates customized meals to suit your tastes and budget.
