About enterprise

Winters Drift, Company

WINTERS DRIFT is the wine brand of Molteno Brothers (Pty) Ltd, a farming business situated in the Elgin area of the Western Cape Province of South Africa. Although the Winters Drift brand was only established in 2010, the then young Molteno Brothers acquired the farm Glen Elgin in 1903, where they settled and spent the rest of their lives. Glen Elgin and the neighbouring properties that were later bought, led to the establishment of the farming business that bears their name today. Winters Drift is named after a crossing through the Palmiet River on the old route through the Overberg, indicated on old maps of the area as a “winter ford of the river”. The Palmiet River rises in the surrounding mountains and flows down the length of the Elgin valley. This old route passes through what is today Glen Elgin farm, home of Winters Drift. The Molteno Brothers Trust was formed in terms of the will of Harry Molteno who died in 1969 to continue to conduct the farming operations and activities and to use the income derived therefrom in the furtherance of „educational, cultural and charitable interests‟. Historically Molteno Brothers has been a fruit farm and apples and pears continue to comprise the largest part of the farm at approximately 420 hectares. The first grapes for wine production were planted in 2004, with plantings taking place since then growing the total are under vines to 54 hectares today. Cultivars planted are Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Semillon, Viognier, Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Grenache and Mourvédre. Under the 2010 vintage Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Rosé (Merlot) were released. Under the 2011 vintage Shiraz and Pinot Noir will be added to the wine range. Molteno Brothers, as owners of about 500 hectares of uncultivated mountain veld, are founder members of the Groenberg Conservancy formed in 1998. This is a formalized grouping of farms registered with CapeNature, surrounding the Groenlandberg that has as its aim the conservation of the remaining unspoilt Fynbos areas. In recognition of its conservation efforts, Molteno Brothers has enjoyed BWI accreditation since 2007.
