Stark-Conde is a family-run winery making handcrafted wines using tried and true traditional methods. The family property in the Jonkershoek Valley is 600 acres with 85 acres under vine. In addition to being viticulturally ideal, the estate is visually spectacular and attracts visitors from afar. Meticulous viticulture, selected harvesting, hand grape-sorting, small-batch fermentation, patient barrel maturation – these are guiding philosophies behind the wines. The carefully-crated wines speak with personality of a particular terroir.
