Houtconstant - Greenacres Garagiste Greenacres Garagiste @ Houtconstant

At Houtconstant Farm in Porterville, a number of individuals, passionate about making wine, co-operate in a rather rustic cellar, under the watchful eyes of the owners Fan and Philippa Olivier, to produce intesting wines. Houtconstant Farm connects Porterville with the GrootwinterHoek mountain Wilderness Nature Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Houtconstant produces a variety of wine grapes on approximately 17 hectares for the Co-operative.A group of enthusiasts banded togther in 2006 to produce their firstmaiden red and white wines - a Robust Cabernet Sauvignon, a Fruity Merlot and a Tropical Chenin Blanc.

 

Continuing this tradition in 2007, they were joined by Hanro Knoesen, a well-known grower of wine grapes in Porterville. This time they produced a spectacular Chenin Blanc.

Any wine enthusiast is welcome to become part of the group during harvest time, sharing expenses and joining in the fun of picking, crushing, stomping, making and drinking their own uniquely hand crafted-wine. This is a very special and thrilling opportunity to be part of the wine making culture and there is much hilarity and fun for all.
