Ormonde in a Nutshell

Ormonde produces a premium selection of wines, ranging from the flagship Heritage collection, the Barrel Selected- , the elegant Ondine range and the Single vineyard “Chip off the old Block” range.

The Estate prides itself in consistently producing award-winning wines. And many accolades, such as Old Mutual trophies, Michelangelo platinum and Veritas double gold awards dress the walls of the old stable building renovated into an elegant tasting room.

Offering a variety of hand-crafted wines, the Estate showcases the diversity of terroir capturing the signature qualities of careful selection and prime positioning of vineyards, a mere 4 km from the Atlantic Ocean. Our vines are planted at altitudes between 200m and 350m above sea level, ensuring ideal conditions for preserving flavour and acidity in the estate’s white wines, but also helps to moderate summer temperatures, thereby extending the growing season and producing red wines of depth and intensity.

Grapes are carefully handpicked, ensuring that only the best grapes are used in the modern gravity-based cellar. Manual plunging and gentle pump over actions of up to four times a day are rewarded in wines of soft rounded tannins and rich colour. The emphasis is placed on preserving the primary varietal character, allowing the terroir to express itself in every bottle.

For guests visiting the Estate, the enchanting character of the original homestead and beautiful, serene gardens invites one to relax and feel at home. Wine tasting experiences can also be extended to private Chocolate & Wine Pairings presented in The Vinotique where one will find a rare collection of past vintages treasured for Museum Class trophies.

The rolling lawns and shaded trees offer comfortable, spacious seating and family enjoyment with Cheese & Charcuterie platters loaded with local produce on offer, and our Kiddies Pairing platters will entice young visitors with their own special treat.

Booking for pairings and platters are advisable.
