Family-owned and managed boutique winery, Mitre’s Edge, is nestled at the foothills<br />
of the Simonsberg Mountain, between Paarl and Stellenbosch. It is in this beautiful<br />
setting that winemaker Lola Nicholls, assisted by husband Bernard, focuses on<br />
producing relatively smaller quantities of high-quality, award-winning wines.<br />
In 1999 Bernard and Lola took over the farm from Lola’s father, Martin<br />
Hunting, who had farmed there since 1969. Bernard threw caution to the<br />
wind and changed his career from mechanical engineer to wine farmer.<br />
Lola’s passion for Bordeaux wines led to the replanting of the old Cabernet<br />
Sauvignon vineyards with newer clones of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc,<br />
Malbec, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Shiraz was also planted, and to complement their<br />
wine list with white wines, some Chenin Blanc and Viognier vines were also planted.<br />
