Goedverwacht translates from Afrikaans as good hope  or great expectations, hence the labelling. The du Toit family farm no less than 172 hectares of vines giving economies of scale along the bends of the Breede river near Bonnievale. The wines are made by father Jan in collaboration with son Gawie.

Jan once firmly stated his place in the world of wine in South Africa: "I farm for money, not with money"  distinguishing himself from all the supermarket owners, luxury goods merchants, bankers, jewellers or golfers who have bought wine estates in the Cape.

The birds on the labels are blue cranes. Antropoides Paradisea is the national bird of South Africa, once commonly sighted in the Breede River Valley but now an endangered species.

The wines are some of the best value we ship from anywhere; bright, fruity whites with lots of varietal character.
