Boutique Cap Classique estate Newstead Wines has swiftly become one of South Africa’s most decorated sparkling producers. Recent triumphs include a Platinum medal for the 2018 Rosé at the Michelangelo Awards, Gold for the 2018 Blanc de Blanc at the Amorim Challenge — its sixth consecutive win, crowned with Best Producer in 2024 — and a coveted 5-star rating from Platter’s Wine Guide.

Beyond the cellar, Newstead’s restaurant ranks among Dineplan’s Top 20 for four years running, while its Plettenberg Bay estate is sought after for weddings and milestone celebrations. Alfresco dining and generous platters made for sharing — make this your perfect destination.

For all the acclaim, The Lund family remain true to their ethos of being “small and special” — tending vines, welcoming guests with warmth, and crafting wines that make moments memorable. Catch them either on the polo field, or the vineyard restaurant.
