About Knorhoek

Site specific wines from the Knorhoek Valley

Knorhoek is a Certified Heritage Vineyards farm dating back to 1694, nestled in the picturesque Knorhoek Valley in the Simonsberg area of Stellenbosch, a location famous for two things: Cabernet Sauvignon and Chenin Blanc. When the proudly Ukrainian Gaiduk family purchased the property in 2012, they decided to keep it simple and focus on making just those two wines at the site. Utilising the skills of renowned winemaker Schalk Opperman and viticulturist Nico Walters, the Gaiduk family have restored this estate to its former glory. The Cabernet Sauvignon was named Best in Show at the 2025 Decanter World Wine Awards and the sole revelation in its category at Concours Mondial de Bruxelles 2024, a serious case for the best Cabernet in South Africa, at a price that is unheard of in many wine regions around the world. Knorhoek's commitment to quality and family-oriented approach makes it a distinctive destination in the heart of the Stellenbosch Winelands. Beyond wine production, the estate offers accommodation and culinary experiences, creating an immersive experience centred around heritage and hospitality. Profits from this estate are currently supporting humanitarian efforts in Ukraine.
