Our wines are more than just wines. They are the result of our passion. Beside the vineyard sites, the people are the most important resource for us. Every staff contributes to uphold the quality of your wines.
As a boutique wine estate, everyone working at Napier has a shared passion for the highest quality, integrity and innovation guides us in crafting world-class wines that showcase the terroir of the Wellington valley.
At Napier Vineyards the spirit of collaboration and teamwork is integral to the farm`s continued success. From our dedicated vineyard workers and cellar team, to the administrative staff that keep the estate running smoothly, we are inspired by a spirit of caring, teamwork and a dedication to premium wine making.
Named after Sir George Napier, Governor of the “Cape Colony” (Cape of Good Hope) from 1837 to 1843 (during his mandate slavery was abolished).
Established in 1989, Napier has long been in family hands and this tradition is being carried on by Carl Reh, Germany’s wine entrepreneur.
Leon Bester is managing director and chief winemaker with a degree in oenology from Elsenburg Agricultural College in Stellenbosch – brought up in the new world but with old world winemaking experience.
Today more than 25 hectars of vineyards belong to Napier.
