Signature: Cape heritage and the story of the first commercial Pinotage.
This historic property traces its origins to 1692. The Lanzerac name is associated with the first commercial Pinotage, made from the 1959 vintage and released in 1961. Its heritage setting introduces a signature South African grape.

Signature: Sculpture gardens and panoramic Banghoek views.
At the top of Helshoogte Pass, the estate brings together vineyards, gardens and contemporary art. Laurence Graff’s involvement began in 2003, shaping an experience where the Banghoek landscape is as prominent as the wine.
