General Information Profile and Insight Reviews

Located just 7 km from the False Bay coastline, the estate benefits from a natural break in the coastal ridge that funnels cool south and southwesterly breezes directly toward the vineyards. These winds play a vital role in moderating summer temperatures, creating an ideal climate for premium viticulture.

The estate spans 40 hectares under vine, established in 2004 with a diverse selection of varietals including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz, Petit Verdot, Pinotage, Malbec, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chenin Blanc.

Post House’s Raithby Road 2023 is a classic Stellenbosch Bordeaux-style blend showcasing elegance and power. Aromatically inviting with spice and cedar notes, the wine unfolds into a well-structured palate layered with dark fruit, supported by refined tannins and lively acidity. With notable cellaring potential, this wine is both immediately captivating and rewarding over time.

The Post House Estate sits along Raithby Road, located between Somerset West and Stellenbosch at the foothills of the Helderberg mountains. The Raithby Road label ties the wine directly to the specific terroir and location of the vineyards—offering a sense of place and narrative to the wine’s identity.

Vinification

The grapes were fermented separately, using natural yeasts from the vineyard. The skins were pushed down 4-8 times during peak fermentation. Malolactic fermentation took place in the barrel where the wine had minimal handling. Use was made of traditional gravity flow and no mechanical pumps were used in the wine making process. The wines were racked 4 times over a 20-month period. There was no filtration and the sulphur levels were kept to a minimum.

Aging

100% barrel aged in French and American oak barrels. 20% new French and American oak barrels. 24 months in 225 liter barrels.

Savor the Moment: Perfect Wines for Every Occasion and Every Plate

Wine is far more than a drink — it is a social ritual, a gustative journey, and a celebration of taste that thrives in the right setting. Whether you're sharing stories over a casual gathering with friends, savoring a quiet dinner with someone special, or toasting to life’s milestones at a festive event, choosing the right wine enhances every moment. The essence lies not only in the bottle but in matching it with the mood, the company, and above all, the food on your table. The harmony between wine and dish elevates both, unlocking nuances of flavor and experience. For a deeper exploration into perfect pairings, we invite you to consult our Wine & Food Pairing page.
