About
Org de Rac was one of the first wine farms in South Africa committed to 100% certified organic wine farming. Today it is one of only 18 local wine producers certified for the making of wines from organically farmed grapes. From the outset, Org de Rac’s motive for organic farming was our conviction that the best, healthiest grapes make the finest wines. And if you want healthy grapes expressing the characteristics of each variety, creating as natural an environment as possible for the cultivation of vineyards is the best way to ensure quality grapes for the making of premium wines.
