About La Petite Ferme
Having worked at wineries in France, California and Australia, winemaker Wikus Pretorius brought considerable expertise to the cellar when he joined La Petite Ferme in 2015.
The cellar harvests fruit from the 17 hectares of vineyard surrounding the boutique hotel, but Pretorius also works with selected vineyard sites across the Cape winelands, allowing unique terroirs to add complexity to his range of remarkable single varietal wines.
“Franschhoek is a lovely valley, with wonderful vineyards, but there are so many great vineyard sites out there that we felt it best to tap into the diversity of the Cape winelands,” explains Pretorius. “But regardless of where the grapes are from, finesse and elegance are the hallmarks of all my wines.”
