ABOUT Friesland

Located in the Bottelary Hills outside Stellenbosch, with 36ha of elevated south-west facing slopes overlooking Table Bay, Friesland is ideally situated in a beautiful, down-to-earth wine-growing region. Friesland is also a province in the northern part of The Netherlands, and hence honours the Dutch heritage of the first Steenkamps that settled in the Cape during the late 1600’s.

Our Wines

In a throwback to a bygone era, the red wines are made in the family’s sister cellar, in open concrete fermenters built in 1932, using manual pump overs and push downs, using new oak barrels and making wines the handmade, traditional way.
