About Us

We are a small boutique wine cellar and farm producing high quality Methode Cap Classique Sparkling Wine in the traditional french method. Our bubbly is released annually on the first weekend of November from the farm. It's a first come first serve basis and stock is limited so make sure you get there early!

Our Story

For the last 30 years, the Christodoulou family, tucked away deep in the Hout Bay valley of Cape Town have been producing a boutique, hand-made and highly sought after Methode Cap Classique sparkling wine. All attention and energy is focused on creating a high quality product. We're proud enough to drink it at the dinner table with our friends and family and we hope you'll do the same.

The Family

This cellar is all about family and creating the glue that makes it stick together. No surprise that each vintage is named after a family member, starting with Lisa and after ten years ending with Matthew and his great grandmother, Olga. When the family temporarily ran out of additions the cycle was restarted in 2008 with Lisa’s second vintage but soon had to interrupt the sequence to make room for Max in 2011. We recently added our latest additions, Dalia and Leo, to the family names.

“Top management” is also staying in the family with Miranda now fully involved in running the cellar with some great experience helping her out. Miranda and her team are in charge of keeping the bubbles in the wine, the corks in the bottles and the multitude of forms filled in. Nick is never far away to asisst and bring his invaluable knowledge to the process.

You will often find "Top management"s 3 sons working and helping in the cellar, learning the ropes whilst Miranda's siblings, now scattered in Europe, come and lend a helping hand when they come for a visit and join in the celebrations when they can.
