About Me

My photo
Yonder Hill, a boutique winery, nestles up against the Helderberg just off the R44 between Stellenbosch and Somerset West. This 13 hectare farm is owned by the Naude. The farm is known for its soft and easy-drinking style of wines and concentrates on the Red cultivars which the Helderberg region is famous for. Our classic range, Nicola, Merlot, and Inanda enjoys local and international acclaim. We have introduced a value-for-money range consisting of Y-Merlot, Y-Shiraz and Y-Sauvignon Blanc. Both the wine and Olyfberg olive products can comfortably be described as young, frisky, approachable and friendly, just like the people working on the Estate - and sales over the past few years have proven the wines' popularity with the South African market. Come and visit Yonder Hill to enjoy peace and harmony; taste our Wines and Olyfberg products. You are sure to experience a uniqueness and a special sense of something that leaves you feeling uplifted.

In preparing for the Helderberg Winefestival, 11 winemaker from the route, crammed into a Volksie, to get the GEES going.  Well, as you can see, they made it………….. But we do not know how.


Yonder Hill is proud to announce that we have just released our first Sauvignon Blanc!! For a farm well known for its RED wines, this is a huge step. Winemaker, Bennie Avenant has decided that the time has come for Yonder Hill to try the WHITE wine market and he surely has made a very special Sauvignon Blanc. This will be added to our Y-Range which has already acclaimed its place in the market. Please try this wine. Why not??


Yonder Hill has also just completed the replanting of five Ha with Merlot. The new vineyard is planted at a slanting angle against the Helderberg Mountain. Every one at Yonder Hill is exited about the new plantings as we can assure our customers that as in the past, they can still expect the best wines to be made in future.
