Morgenster Wine and Olive Estate in Somerset West, founded in 1711, has an exceptional terroir which was recognised by Italian Giulio Bertrand when he bought the farm in 1992. Working with wine consultant Pierre Lurton of Chateau Cheval Blanc, Bertrand set out to produce world class Bordeaux-styled red blends which age well. Decades later Morgenster’s cellar showcases its early vintages alongside newer offerings for a unique tasting experience.
