About Haute Cabrière

Haute Cabrière is based in the Franschhoek Valley in South Africa’s Cape winelands. The estate has long focused on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the two varieties at the heart of its Pierre Jourdan sparkling wines as well as its still wines. Franschhoek’s mountain setting and cooling influences help preserve freshness in the grapes.

Wine country South Africa South Africa combines Cape ripeness with ocean-cooled freshness, anchored by Chenin Blanc, Pinotage and Cabernet-based blends. Read more
