About the Wine Estate

De Clapmuts Farm originated as a halfway station between Cape Town and Paarl/Franschhoek and was used as a cattle outpost by the Dutch East India Company. After the succession of the British Colonial Government, Governor Sir George Yonge appointed William Duckitt to conduct agricultural experiments on De Clapmuts Farm in 1799. Thereafter the farm was sold twice to private owners – to Captain John Piggot Watney in 1821 and two years later to Philippus Albertus Cloete. In 1946 the farm was bought by Hermann Heinrich Paul Heins. Hermann’s father was a German immigrant, and the proud German heritage trickled down through the Heins generations. Today the fourth generation is farming with the focus on premium quality wine grapes as well as excellent quality pork meats. We strive to uphold our family values of integrity, tradition, and dignity. The vineyards on De Clapmuts Farm are an inseparable part of the farm’s tradition and history. The vineyards were rumoured to be planted during Jan van Riebeeck’s time. For the last three Heins generations the grapes have been produced for nearby cellars. 2022 will be a highlight for the Heins family as it will be the first vintage wine under their own label, a dream that has finally come true. The range will initially consist of Sauvignon Blanc, Dry Rosé and Shiraz. The grapes sourced for our wines come from specially selected blocks and are harvested at optimum maturity to ensure our wines are enjoyed with every sip.
