When owners Elke and Friedrich-Wilhelm Dauphin first bought the farm, they invested a substantial amount in staff,
infrastructure and cellar technology to create a world-class
winery that today produces an acclaimed range of wines.
The red wines, with aromas of juicy dark berries such as
blackberries and plums, are typically accompanied by spicy
notes and pleasant mineral components.

Allowed to develop in American and French oak barrels
for a year, the reds are characterised by powerful
tannins to ensure an opulent finish. In contrast, the
white wines surprise with their refreshing, fine acidity
and aromas of peaches and tropical fruits and they are
fermented in stainless-steel tanks for nine months.
Visitors to Allée Bleue may enjoy a wine tasting either
in the delightfully relaxed courtyard of the Tasting
Centre – conveniently located at the entrance to the
Estate or by special arrangement with the winemaker.
Alternatively, Bistro Allée Bleue, the Estate’s
stylishly appointed restaurant set in a restored Cape
Dutch building opposite the Tasting Centre, is the
perfect setting in which to enjoy any of the Estate’s
delicious wines either by the glass or by the bottle at
cellar-door prices.
