This imposing organic wine estate just outside Piketberg is well worth a visit to experience the healthier alternative they are offering wine lovers.

The name "Org de Rac" means "organic off the shelf" and their superior wines are indeed full of the goodness of sun, healthy soil and water.
Org de Rac is the only South African wine producer certified by the Soil Association of Bristol in the UK, a certification which is only awarded after extremely strict investigation of organic production methods.

Grapes are harvested by hand, not only to ensure quality, but also to secure jobs for the local community. Development and training is furthermore offered to the staff, to empower them in organic farming practices.
Only three cultivars are grown on the estate, being Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot & Shiraz.
There are two product ranges: the Org de Rac range that has had 3 months wood contact and the Family Reserve range which underwent 12 months barrel ageing.

What is Organic?
Organic means that no chemicals, pesticides or herbicides were used in the cultivating of the grapes. Only compost and organic materials are used, with indigenous vegetation for mulching. A tremendous health benefit of organically certified wine is that only half the sulphur content of conventional wine is allowed and other chemical additives not at all.
