We are a premium wine producer based in Stellenbosch. “The High Road” comes from the fact that we follow high road practices in producing the wine. From berry to bottle we ensure that only the best practices, equipment, and facilities are used to produce our award-winning red wines. Our wines are made in Celebration of a peaceful transition to Democracy in South Africa.

Simple, great wine, at a great price, delivered to your door. Delivering premium red wines from The High Road collection directly to your door anywhere in South Africa, or collect from our Cellar in Stellenbosch, South Africa.

Here are the steps we are taking for safety…

We are a small team of 4 which reduces the risk. Wines have been packed in cartons months ago so in general the bottles have not been handled in the last 6 months. If they have been handled, it would only be by one member of our team. We use best practices, washing hands, hand sanitizer, and general good hygiene in everyday operations. Our courier company has a document (which is available if required) on their best practice procedures as well.  

OUR STORY

For those whose sense of taste favors the elegance and complexity of classic Bordeaux-style reds, The High Road is the perfect destination.

Established in 2003 as a boutique négociant producer, The High Road has cultivated a considerable reputation amongst Bordeaux aficionados.

The brand has been built on four unwavering pillars of distinction: exclusive sourcing of quality grapes perfected by the Stellenbosch Terroir, a single-minded focus on Bordeaux Varietals, an insistence on using a considered selection of fine French Oak barrels, and our proprietary High Road Practices.

Guided by our consultant winemakers for the past 15 vintages, we have succeeded in producing exceptional vintage-specific wines with the elegance, intrinsic depth, and distinction of a classic Bordeaux red at their core.

The epitome of Bordeaux, yet expressing a sense of place that is uniquely Stellenbosch.
