Durbanville began as an outspan area named Pampoenkraal that became a meeting place for early travelers, transport riders and local farmers. In time, a small village developed. It was renamed D’Urban after Sir Benjamin D’Urban in 1838, and Durbanville in 1886.
Durbanville Hills winery draws its grapes from a group of neighboring historic farms, mostly established at the turn of the 17th and 18th Centuries.
These include Bloemendal, allocated as a freehold farm in 1698 to an early Dutch settler at the Cape. Most of the other farms involved were allocated as freehold farms during the early 1700s, including Maastricht in 1702, Hooggelegen in 1703 and Ongegund in 1704.

Wines
Durbanville Hills Sauvignon Blanc
The breathtaking views of Table Mountain from Durbanville Hills winery are the inspiration behind our wines. Cool air and rolling mists off the Atlantic Ocean extend the ripening periods of the grapes, with consistent rainfall and restricted yields—ideal for the creation of intensely flavored fruity wines. Full tropical fruit flavors with gooseberries, figs and a hint of grass. Full-bodied and fresh—a style that suits poultry, seafood and other light summer dishes.
Durbanville Hills Pinotage
Matured in small French oak barrels for 12 months. Lingering rapsberry flavors with a smooth, sweet clove bouquet. Refined and fruity—a style that suits grilled meat, spicy food and Cape Malay curries.
Durbanville Hills Shiraz
Matured in small French oak barrels for 12 months. Rich berry and smoky plum palate with pepper and spice aromas. Full-bodied, soft and ripe—a style that suits hearty roasts, spicy stews and smoked food.
