Winemaker Description

Our best known bottle fermented sparkling wine. This is where we started in 1984.

The red grape is mainly Pinot Noir. A zesty Cap Classique displaying the full balanced yeasty complexity synonymous with a blend of white and red grapes.

Cousins Jeff and Simon Grier started the family-owned Villiera Wines outside Stellenbosch in 1983 and embarked on an extensive replanting of classic and local varietals. Cathy Brewer (ne Grier) later joined the family team to head up the sales, marketing and export divisions. The introduction of hi-tech cellar facilities for the production of still wines as well as Mthode Cap Classique combined with a unique wine business philosophy has seen Villiera developing into one of the largest private wineries in the country.
