About
At Deux Frères, we believe that nature and geography, or our terroir, make the wine. It is up to us to unlock this gift in an environmentally and socially responsible way. As the smallest registered wine estate in Stellenbosch, we strive to make the best wine with the grapes endowed to us by nature in a given year. Our vineyard practices are anchored in the collective memory of what we have learnt about our land over time. Stephan’s winemaking process is one focused on our terroir. Stephan’s wines have balance between fruit and acidity with soft ripe tannins.
