Contemporary Cape Town cuisine has put De Grendel Restaurant on the global map as a Top 10 fine dining restaurant...

What a fantastic start to the new year! De Grendel has been classified in South Africa’s Top 100 Most Highly Rated Wines 2019 in the Shiraz category and we are tremendously proud to have received this award, especially right at the beginning of 2019.

Pinot Noir is juicy, delicious and is great with cheese, but what other secrets does this favourite red wine harbour? 

Life can sometimes throw you a curveball, but often, the challenge isn’t as daunting as it initially seems, and can pleasantly surprise you.

This year we’re giving you exclusive video updates about what’s going on in the cellar and vineyards at De Grendel during harvest.

Situated on the Agulhas Plain at the tip of Africa, the charming little village of Elim has fascinated De Grendel winemaker, Charles Hopkins, since 1994 and it is the potential of the area that drew him in.

As we do each season, we have introduced a string of new delicious dishes to the menu of De Grendel Restaurant.

We have been so excited to launch our all-new Sir David Graaff, First Baronet of Cape Town 2013 red blend.

Why De Grendel cellar master Charles Hopkins is excited about this year’s wines.
