Back Story & Wine Information

Guardian Peak is named after the towering pBright aromas of blackberry, plum and redcurrant with a savoury note of bay leafeak on Stellenbosch Mountain. It was founded in 1998 by Jean Engelbrecht, who combined his knowledge of international wine markets with his experience at his family wine estate in Stellenbosch to create a range of everyday-drinking, fresh and approachable wines. Two decades later, we pride ourselves on producing sustainable wines of consistent quality that are friendly and easy to enjoy. We hope you enjoy these wines as often as we do! Grapes for Guardian Peak are sourced from respected growers with whom we have long-term contracts. These growers have been supplying our fruit from the beginning, allowing us to maintain the consistency that we pride ourselves on.
