About Winery and Wines

Situated in Wellington, in the heart of the Cape Winelands of South Africa.Jacaranda can look back on a longstanding history. The Manor House and Cottage were built 80 years ago in the old Cape Dutch style, the first vineyard of Chenin Blanc vines was planted in the mid-1970ies and is still in production. After lovingly restoring the Manor House and Holiday Cottage in 2009, new owners René Reiser and Birgit Schmiederer-Reiser have replanted part of the vineyard to Chenin Blanc, Shiraz and Viognier in August 2011. A new cellar was added in 2012 and the first Estate Wines are maturing in the barrels, awaiting release in 2014. Small but beautiful, the area under vine is 2.5 ha. This allows us to put all our heart and passion into growing and taking care of our vineyard and lovingly handcrafting our Jacaranda Wines. After many years in China, work brought us to South Africa. We always had a passion for wine and got involved in the international wine trade. Wine Discoveries Pty Ltd located at Jacaranda and Wine Discoveries Vinothek and Wineshop in Shanghai/China are the twoplatforms for trading activities. In Shanghai, we are working together with our friend of long years, Lu Yunjuan and a team of dedicated wine merchants. With Jacaranda Wine Estate, our wine journey has come full circle and now involves the whole cycle from planting to finally selling and, obviously, drinking the wines.
