About enterprise
Laibach Vineyards Pty., Ltd.
At Laibach Vineyards we are committed to producing wines of outstanding quality, that best reflect the unique terroir and the microclimate of the Simonsberg ward near Stellenbosch, one of South Africa's prime wine-growing areas for noble cultivars. Therefore we use a blend of tradition and innovation, adhering to a philosophy of continuous improvement. The history of our wine farm can be traced back until the year 1818. Originally named "Good Success" and owned by Dutchman Daniel Johannes van Ryneveld from Amsterdam, this vast farm extended to most of the catchment area in the valley enclosed by the Simonsberg, Kanonkop and Klapmutsberg. Later on it was divided in three farms: Warwick, De Goede Suces and the remainder of the farm Good Success, which has become Laibach in 1994, when entrepreneur Friedrich Laibach realized his 30-year dream of owning a vineyard.
Today the deep red soils have been replanted with virus-free new clones and a new winery has been built. The picturesque Laibach vineyards are flanked by the renowned vineyards of Kanonkop, Warwick and Lievland.
Ultimately, our wine quality is forever linked to the land where our grapes are grown. Site selection is essential in the making of fine wines, because flavour starts in the vineyards. The Simonsberg terroir with its lean deep red soils (Glovelly, Glenrosa) and cooling maritime winds from nearby False Bay is ideal for red wines of body and complexity.
We try to make wine in the most traditional and natural way while using the most advanced preserving technologies. We try to maximize soft handling and to make the best of what mother nature gives us on this unique viticultural terroir - wines that reflect both the identity of the different grape varieties and the terroir.

The vineyard block from which the grapes are selected is very old, unirrigated and is grown with the traditional bush vine method. Bush vines produce natural low yield (30 - 40 hectoliters/hectare). Small berries are very important, because you get a more concentrated and define product. We do not...

This is our signature organic wine. Starting to use organic practices since the beginning of the century we quickly realized the advantages of this so called "old fashion" approach. Our minds were poisoned in the mid 70's with all these new pesticides, insecticides and fertilizers. Sure everything...

This is a very unique wine in our portfolio. Since the beginning we wanted to make something completely different than some of the other whites in our portfolio. Very much a feel wine. Very easy to produce, just take everything they teach you in wine school and try to do the opposite. We believe...

Laibach proudly presents the first vintage of this wine. We are well known for our full bodied reds, well-structured and enough tannin to mature, but many people do not like to drink these wines every day. We decided to create something new, soft, and plumy with good fruit and almost no wood...
