Le Bonheur6x Prima Red Blend 2021

About

Le Bonheur is the gateway to South Africa’s most renowned wine producing region – Stellenbosch. With a history dating back to the 1700s – Le Bonheur Wine Estate epitomises the rich heritage of Stellenbosch. Historically “Le Bonheur” was a resting place for travellers and traders – offering lush green surroundings and natural spring waters. The original owners of this scenic farm, the French Huguenot De Villiers family, fittingly named it “Le Bonheur”, meaning “happiness”. Today the Estate retains its sense of place, timeless setting and rich heritage.
