As the smallest registered Wine Estate in South Africa, harvest time at Jacaranda Wine- and Guestfarm is a very special time of year - albeit a little shorter than others.

Their 3.5 hectares under vine is attentively tended throughout the year, before surrendering their fruit to become one of their unique, hands-on, wines.
