Post House
  |
POSTHOUSE farm was bought by the Gebers family in 1981. It is situated in the picturesque area between the towns of Somerset West and Stellenbosch, at the foothills of the Helderberg Mountain. On a clear day Cape Point and False Bay are visible from the winery. This area is one of the preeminent wine regions in South Africa. The farm was systematically planted to vineyard with the grapes being sold to the local cooperative. It was only in 1996 that a couple of experimental barrels were made by Nick Gebers, with the help and encouragement of a local winemaker. Two vintages later, and after a stint in Burgundy, the first vintage was released. The farmhouse used to operate as a small Post office, which used to serve the local missionary community of Raithby; therefore it was a logical step to associate the wine with its postal origin. The wines were thus named Post House. www.posthousewines.co.za  Nick Gebers - Winemaker
