The estate

Where landscape becomes wine

Buitenstekloof is the setting for the vineyards, cellar and quiet, hands-on approach behind Le Roux & Fourie.

Vineyard

A farm at the Langeberg foothills

The vineyard sits within a mountain landscape, where limestone-rich ground and local growing conditions inform the character of the wines.

Cellar

A distinctive straw-bale cellar

The Buitenstekloof cellar is built with straw-bale walls. Its passive thermal qualities form part of the estate's practical approach to cellar conditions and resource use.

Winemaking

Time, oak and attentive handling

From selective harvesting to maturation in French oak, the estate's recorded winemaking philosophy favours careful intervention and allows each wine time to develop.
