About
Lourensford Wine Estate is situated at the foot of the majestic Hottentots Holland Mountains. This property is steeped in history and dates back to the 1700ʼs. Christo Wiese, Cape industrialist and retail magnate purchased this estate in 1998. Dramatic changes were to follow in the next few years. The first plantings of vines began in 2000 and the construction of the unique winery began in 2002. The magnificent soils and diverse micro-climates create the ideal terroir for world-class wines.

We've all been there - late at night, unable to sleep, but not really awake enough to continue watching our latest binge-worthy series. We flick through the various channels and come across a live stream of the South African parliament.
Amidst the chaos and the banging of the gavel, there's a whole lot of 'honourable member' and 'honourable speaker' being called out, and we can't really make much sense of what's going on. Still, it can often be rather entertaining.
Speaking of entertainment, check out our deal on a really honourable speaker: a wireless black extra bass speaker from Sony.
