About
Situated between the Breede River and Langeberg mountains in Robertson, lies Bon Courage Wine Estate. Here the Bruwer family produces a selection of fine wines, ranging from noble whites, classic reds and fortified dessert wines to the elegant and award-winning Cap Classique sparkling wines. This range is named in honour of the Bruwers' French Huguenot lineage, the Brueres, who hailed from the Loire Valley. They are handmade from beginning to end in accordance with the traditional “Champagne” method.
