Since its founding in 1989, Mulderbosch Vineyards has widely been accepted as one of South Africa's foremost wine producers. In 2011 Mulderbosch was bought by California-based investment company Terroir Capital with well known wine investor Charles Banks at the helm, who had long desired to invest in the Cape Winelands.
Although wine guide author John Platter famously referred to the Mulderbosch Sauvignon Blanc as "South Africa's most celebrated Sauvignon", the entire Mulderbosch portfolio has consistently represented high quality wines of distinction for which it has gained an enviable track record. Offerings include our Faithful Hound Bordeaux-style blend; a varietal Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé; a Barrel Fermented and lightly wooded style of Chardonnay; a Chenin Blanc sourced from predominantly old bush vines and a deliciously decadent Noble Late Harvest made from Sauvignon Blanc.
