Producer Information

Family-owned and family-run, Morgenster Estate has a history dating back 300 years. Situated near the foothills of the Helderberg Mountain in Somerset West, we produce award-winning Bordeaux-styled wines, Italian cultivars and extra virgin olive oil. In 1992 Giulio Bertrand bought Morgenster. With a lifelong philosophy of producing only the best, Giulio sought advice from experts who suggested that Morgensters terroir was perfectly suited to red wine grape varieties and olives. While it is part of Italian culture to produce fine wines and olives together, the concept was an innovation in South Africa at the time. Giulio set out to produce world class Bordeaux-styled wines and the highest quality extra virgin olive oil that South Africa had ever seen. Giulio passed away in 2018, and his two daughters, Federica and Alessandra, are carrying his dream forward. We aim to inspire people to dream big, through sharing our founders story, his persistence, tenacity and unflinching commitment to quality.
