Stellenbosch Hills arose out of the rebranding of the Vlottenburg Winery in 2003, located outside Stellenbosch. Vlottenburg Winery was founded in 1945.
The name Stellenbosch Hills also more accurately portrays the catchment area from which the winery sources its grapes. With the increasing importance of terroir, it was important that the winery positions itself as not only being limited to accessing grapes from the Vlottenburg region, but also sourcing fruit from our members' farms in Lynedoch and Stellenbosch Kloof.
Stellenbosch Hills makes its wine from grapes grown on the farms of its 20 member/shareholders, which are situated in this acclaimed region's prime viticultural areas.
