Our winery is named after Sir George Napier, Governor of the Cape of Good Hope 1837 - 1843, who distinguished himself by abolishing slavery. It was he who named Wellington in honour of the famous Duke of Wellington, his erstwhile commanding officer in the wars against Napoleon.
Napier winery was established in 1989 on land farmed since the late 1600's. The farm was largely replanted with noble varietals to produce three top wines: a red blend in the style of the Medoc; a Chardonnay modelled on Meursault; and a flinty dry Chenin Blanc from indigenous old semi-bush vines.
Although based on these models, our wines are clearly from the new world and reflect the distinctive terroir of our valley. All grapes are hand picked from our own vineyards.
