Winemaker's Notes
The historic Waghuis – or “Guard House” -dates from the 18th century when it was built at the foot of the scenic Piketberg Mountain to serve as a look-out post from which watch was kept over the road between Cape Town and the northern hinterland. Today Die Waghuis is also the name of Org de Rac’s flagship wine.
The vineyards, exclusively planted for the making of Die Waghuis, are set on a south-facing slope in an ascending order with Verdelho at the bottom, Roussanne in the middle and Chenin Blanc on the crest.
