Robertson in the winelands of South Africa is a warm, low rainfall region which has excellent lime-rich soils ideal for producing delectable white wines including a superb sweet Muscatel as well as sherry and brandy. Most of the Robertson wine estates are clustered along the Breede River and form a very friendly farming community. So fertile is this river valley that fruit, vegetables, almonds, coriander and lucerne are also grown. Upon the green fields and white fenced pastures of these Robertson wine estates graze many hopefuls for the Cape Town racetrack.

Previously known as the Robertson Wine Trust (established 1983), the Robertson Wine Valley today represents 32 members, including 11 co-operatives, 14 estates and 7 private producers. Long noted for its exceptional dessert wines, the Robertson Wine Route has in recent years won great acclaim in South Africa, and around the world, for the production of outstanding white, (especially Chardonnay, Colombar and Sauvignon Blanc) and red wines, as well as Cap Classique sparkling wines.
