About enterprise

De Heuvel Wine Estate, Company

As one of the oldest farms within the Land van Waveren and Het Roode Zand, current day Tulbagh-Wolseley area, the core of De Heuvel started out as De Hoop in 1714. Records show free-burgher Jan Cloete, son of Gerrit Jacobson Cloete (Dronke Gerrit), ran the farm as a mill. After the devastating smallpox epidemic of 1713, more permanent colonial settlement was possible within the Tulbagh region. July 1714 saw the conversion of nine loan farms in the Tulbagh/Wolseley area to freehold farms of which De Hoop was one. Both De Hoop and Artois (another one of the granted farms) were issued to the free-burgher Philip du Preez. Artois in August, and De Hoop in September, 1714. It is presumed that the farm was then used as a buijtenplaats or "grazing farm". Wine Production goes back to approximately 1806 when Pieter Francois Theron Jacobusz had 27 000 "wynstokken" on his farm, then still known as De Hoop. 1813 saw the farm being passed to the burgher Tobias Wiese who also acquired the loan farm (leening plaets) surrounding the original De Hoop farm - then known as De Klipheuvel. The name was later shortened to De Heuvel which eventually came to refer to both the farms and is the name by which the farm is known today. As far as records show, olive harvesting was first started by the previous owner Mr Antonio Leonardo Bianco, originally from Piedmont, Italy. His father was deported during the Second World War as a POW to South Africa, where Antonio was born and raised within the Johannesburg area. He bought the farm in 1991 and built it up to be the wine and olive growers for which we are known today. Olive groves and vineyards were established in 1991, with first production being in 1996, and 1997, for olives and wine respectively. After initially selling the grape crop to larger co-operatives, Antonio was convinced he could establish a name for himself due to the exceptional quality of the grapes. 1999 thus saw the release of the first Bianco label. Now, almost ten years later, De Heuvel's quality of produce has improved to such a point that we are now considered a premium styled, boutique cellar - a reputation we intend to build on in the future.
