Elegance, finesse, complexity and concentration of fruit are the hallmarks of the wines of Rijk’s Private Cellar. Situated in the picturesque valley of Tulbagh, South Africa, we produce fine food wines to satisfy the sophisticated palate of wine enthusiasts from around the world.

Our wines are grown in the vineyards. With pride and patience, our people are dedicated to producing optimum quality grapes from each vine. Picked in the cool of the night, our philosophy of gentle handling and minimum interference reflects the true character of our terroir,  labour, soil and climate.

Rijk’s Private Cellar wines spend up to 20 months in the barrel, are then bottle aged for 2 to 4 years and only released when winemaker Pierre Wahl is content. We release “older vintage” wines with tremendous ageing potential. Our latest wine releases are listed on the right of this page.

We at Rijk’s Private Cellar are extremely proud of our vineyards and our wines. To appreciate the fruits of our labour, please explore our website to view our wines, awards, and the attention to detail of how we grow our wine.

We produce 20,000 cases per vintage.
