Van Loveren is a 220 hectare Estate situated alongside the Breede River near the town of<br />
Robertson, almost 100 miles inland from Cape Town. It has been in the Retief family for over<br />
three generations, with cousins Bussell, Hennie, Neil and Phillip currently leading the Van<br />
Loveren team. In recent years major investment in the winery has resulted in one of the most<br />
modern cellars in the Robertson area with a total capacity of 3000 tons.<br />
The vineyards are irrigated for six months of the year. The unique soil type, with its high<br />
limestone and chalk content, makes the Robertson area ideal for the production of noble white<br />
and red varietals. In 1992 several red varieties were planted, and recently the farm has<br />
expanded further, with another 50 hectares of new red vines.<br />
The uniqueness of these wines lies in the consistent high<br />
quality, which is a result of the talented and professional<br />
winemaking team of Bussell and Phillip Retief.<br />
