The Estate
Morgenster Estate in the Western Cape, just 35 minutes outside of Cape Town, specialises in three Bordeaux red wine cultivars and our forte is blending. More recently, Morgenster has also planted small quantities of Italian varieties Nebbiolo and Sangiovese. Director & Wine Consultant Pierre Lurton (a name synonymous with Bordeaux) works in tandem with resident Oenologist/Winemaker Marius Lategan and the viticulture team, Gerhard Bruwer and François Viljoen, to offer to Morgenster's customers the ultimate best in a red blend.
The two Morgenster wine labels have not only established themselves in South Africa but also on the international market, being exported to the UK, Europe, North America, Canada, Sweden and Singapore.
Morgenster's flagship wine, the Morgenster 2003 was launched in March 2007 while our second label, Lourens River Valley, has already been on the market for a couple of years. The sixth vintage of this label, the Morgenster Lourens River Valley 2003, was also released in March 2007.
Our wine farm's recent accolades have come in from various sources and corners of the Globe - two 4½ star ratings in John Platter 2006 and 2007 for Morgenster and Lourens River Valley; Grape Magazines 5 star rating of the Morgenster 2000 and 4½ for the Lourens River Valley 2000; Steve Tanzer International Wine Cellar gave the Morgenster 2001 91+ - the wine garnered 88 from Robert Parker. The Advocate and Michael Fridjon's Top Ten selection in the December 2005 Wine Magazine – see the list of awards for the full details.
