About
Haute Cabrière, situated in the Franschhoek valley, focusses exclusively on the creation of wines from the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grape varietals. The farm’s origins date to 1694 when French Huguenot Pierre Jourdan was granted a piece of land in Franschhoek, which he named after his home town of Cabrière. In the 1980’s Achim von Arnim acquired this land, aiming to create wines in the style of the Champagne region. Today, the MCC and related wines are produced under the Pierre Jourdan label and the still wines are produced under the Haute Cabrière name.
