About this wine from

Western Cape, South Africa

Royal Legacy is a wine with a remarkable story. It is dedicated to Queen Elizabeth II – a woman who embodied constancy, grace and devotion to duty for more than seven decades. Its inspiration dates back to 1947, when the young Princess Elizabeth visited South Africa with her parents. During that journey, she celebrated her 21st birthday in Cape Town and delivered the radio address that would later define her entire life: a pledge to devote her life to the service of her people and the Commonwealth. It is from the very place where she spoke those words and laid the foundation of her legacy that the grapes for Royal Legacy originate.

About the winemaker

Meerendal

Only about 30 km north-east of Cape Town, the tradition of the Meerendal wine estate began as early as 1702, when Governor Willem Adriaan van der Stel, son of Constantia founder Simon van der Stel, handed over the land, which was fertile but hardly used at the time, to Jan Meerland. When he died at sea in 1706, his widow Christina Stans took up viticulture and ten years later had already cultivated 60,000 vines. Gradually, more and more wheat fields were planted with vines. Even today, they still adhere to the preferred viticulture method of the time, the so-called bush training, in which the arrangement of the vines in even rows ensures that the available soil is used in the best possible way. Due to their low height, the sunlight reaches all the vines in the same way and with the same intensity, without them shading each other.
