Nestled along the scenic Helshoogte Pass between Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, Le Pommier Wine Estate captures the essence of a relaxed Cape Winelands summer — where fine wine, warm hospitality, and rustic country charm come together effortlessly. Once home to flourishing apple orchards, Le Pommier, meaning “the apple tree” in French, now flourishes as a boutique vineyard celebrated for its authenticity and heartfelt hospitality.
Every bottle produced at Le Pommier tells a story of the Banhoek Valley — its cool mountain breezes, sun-drenched slopes, and the hands that tend its vines. Crafted with care and balance, these wines embody both elegance and approachability, designed for those long, golden afternoons spent sharing laughter, good food, and great company.
Refreshing Wines for Sunlit Days
The Sauvignon Blanc is a true expression of freshness — pale green with a hint of straw in the glass, and layered with bright notes of citrus, lime, and tropical fruit. A flinty, mineral finish brings a clean edge that pairs beautifully with seafood, summer salads, or simply the view from the vineyard terrace.

The Maraai Rosé captures the soul of the season. This dry, pink wine offers aromas of strawberry and gooseberry, followed by a rich, fruit-forward texture that lingers delightfully on the palate. Made predominantly from Sauvignon Blanc with a touch of Cabernet Franc, it is crisp, vibrant, and refreshingly summery — perfect for picnics, light salads, and lazy afternoons shared under the sunLe Pommier Maraai Rose Tasting ….

For those who enjoy a more layered experience, the Mac Cabernet Franc/Malbec blend delivers depth and structure with notes of blackberry and mulberry, while the Summercourt Chardonnay offers a slightly wooded, medium-bodied balance of tropical fruit and gentle minerality. Together, they showcase the estate’s commitment to quality and its diverse, expressive terroir.
