Morgenster Wine and Olive Estate - Somerset West, Cape Town
Morgenster Wine and Olive Estate, located in Somerset West, Cape Town, is a renowned estate celebrated for its exceptional wines and world-class olive products. The estate is steeped in history, with origins dating back to 1711 when it was first granted to Jacques Malan, a French Huguenot settler. Morgenster is one of the oldest estates in the region, boasting an impressive heritage that has been meticulously preserved over the centuries. Today, it blends its rich history with modern viticulture and olive cultivation, producing award-winning wines and olive oils that have earned international acclaim.
The estate's transformation into a premier wine and olive producer began in the 1990s under the ownership of Italian-born entrepreneur Giulio Bertrand. His vision was to establish Morgenster as a leader in both the wine and olive oil industries. He collaborated with the world-famous Bordeaux winemaker Pierre Lurton to craft wines that reflect the estate’s unique terroir, resulting in a range of elegant Bordeaux-style red blends and crisp, refreshing white wines. Morgenster’s wine portfolio has since expanded to include highly respected varietals like Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot.
In addition to its fine wines, Morgenster is widely known for its olive oils, which have garnered numerous international awards. Bertrand’s passion for olive cultivation led to the estate planting several varieties of Italian olive trees, enabling Morgenster to produce high-quality, extra virgin olive oil. The estate’s dedication to excellence in olive oil production is reflected in its cold extraction process, which ensures that the oils maintain their natural flavor and nutritional benefits. Visitors to the estate can enjoy olive oil tastings alongside their wine experience, making it a distinctive destination for both wine and food enthusiasts.
Beyond its agricultural pursuits, Morgenster Wine and Olive Estate offers a tranquil setting for visitors to explore. The estate’s historic buildings, beautifully maintained gardens, and stunning views of the Helderberg Mountains create a serene atmosphere that invites relaxation and reflection. Guided tours and tastings allow visitors to immerse themselves in the estate's rich history and experience the passion behind its wine and olive oil production. The estate’s tasting room is a perfect spot to savor the fruits of Morgenster’s labor, with knowledgeable staff on hand to guide guests through the tasting process.
