Rijk's Cellar

Elegance, finesse, complexity and concentration of fruit are the hallmarks of the wines of Rijk’s Private Cellar. Situated in the picturesque valley of Tulbagh, South Africa, we produce fine food wines to satisfy the sophisticated palate of wine enthusiasts from around the world. Our wines are grown in the vineyards. With pride and patience, our people are dedicated to producing optimum quality grapes from each vine. Picked in the cool of the night, our philosophy of gentle handling and minimum interference reflects the true character of our terroir, labour, soil and climate. Rijk’s Private Cellar wines spend up to 20 months in the barrel, are then bottle aged for 2 to 4 years and only released when winemaker Pierre Wahl is content. We at Rijk’s Private Cellar are extremely proud of our vineyards and our wines.
