Rooted in a legacy of quality and tradition, De Oude Drostdy, the stately home of Drosty-Hof wines in Tulbagh, shines like a beacon through every bottle of new Drostdy-Hof Extra Light. Innovative design lends a heightened sense of lightness while the image of the original magistrate's court dating back to 1804, is projected through the wine, reinforcing the heritage that has made it a true South African classic.
