Franschhoek Cellars make quality wines at affordable prices. All the wines are clean and well made with true varietal characters and good weight of fruit. The Wide River range is specially selected for us by the Robertson Winery, which is owned by 35 farmers cultivating 1900 hectares in the Robertson Valley. Allesverloren Estate is on the slopes of the Kasteelberg Mountain in Swartland. The warm dry summer months, combined with the cool prevailing westerly winds, produce red wines which are big and robust, with plenty of tannins.
