Previously known as the Robertson Wine Trust (established 1983), the Robertson Wine Valley today represents 32 members, including 11 co-operatives, 14 estates and 7 private producers. Long noted for its exceptional dessert wines, the Robertson Wine Route has in recent years won great acclaim in South Africa, and around the world, for the production of outstanding white, (especially Chardonnay, Colombar and Sauvignon Blanc) and red wines, as well as Cap Classique sparkling wines.
The lime rich soil and unique climate gives the region the natural attributes to produce outstanding wines. With a history of co-operation between growers and wineries in the region, disciplined planning is done regarding the planting of specific grape varieties suitable to the region's soils and they see to it that it is in line with recognized trends within the wine industry.
