About La Petite Ferme
Our boutique-style cellar, nestled on 15 hectares, meticulously crafts wines that reflect Franschhoek’s terroir. Sensitively navigating diversity, we let the grapes lead, ensuring each bottle encapsulates the region’s essence.
At the heart of our winemaking lies a profound belief that every bottle tells a unique story. Each vintage, each varietal, is a chapter in the ongoing narrative of our land, our vines, and the delicate interplay of nature’s elements. We are co-creators with nature. This partnership requires care at every stage, from the vineyard to the cellar. Our approach is one of gentle stewardship, allowing the grapes to express their true character and potential without imposing a predetermined outcome.
