Orange River Wine Cellars


The head-office of Oranjerivier Wine Cellars is located in Upington, a town in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. Five Wineries have been established in Kakamas, Keimoes, Upington, Grootdrink and Groblershoop, whilst grape juice cellars operate from Kanoneiland, Kakamas and  Grootdrink.

 

The wine grapes of Oranjerivier Wine Cellars originate from 890 producers  all along 

the Orange River. These pockets of vineyard land stretch over a distance of more than 300 kilometres between Groblershoop and Blouputs. The terroir (geophysical and micro-climatical) diversity of this unequalled thirstland, translates into the production of cultivar and blended wines of inimitable variation insofar as aromatic and taste qualities are concerned
