Annandale Wine Estate

Annandale Wine Estate is said to be the oldest farm in the premium red-wine-producing Helderberg Valley. Governor Simon van der Stel granted the title to Jan Wismaar, the property’s first owner, in 1688. The farm was known as Brakelsdal until the early 1800s, when the then the owner fell in love with a girl from the Annan River Valley in Scotland and changed the name of the property accordingly. A manor house built in the middle of the 1700s and a cellar that predates 1700 can be found on Annandale to this day, adding to the old-world charm of the estate.
