Noble Hill Wine Estate

Noble Hill is a certified organic wine estate on the decomposed granite slopes of the Simonsberg, above the village of Simondium. Fewer than fifteen estates in South Africa farm to organic certification, and Noble Hill goes further: alien trees have been cleared, water brought back onto the land, and parts of the farm are being rehabilitated as renosterveld wildlife corridors. The granite soils are poor and the yields low, and the wines reflect this in their lean, mineral, and saline character. Chenin Blanc sits at the centre of the range, alongside a rosé made from Mourvèdre and a field blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Viognier called “Field Atlas”. The first vines are going in for a small Assyrtiko project, a grape seldom grown in the Cape.

Tastings are poured in the wine shop or outside on the terrace under a willow, and the winemaker often pours himself. The estate restaurant, Harvest at Noble Hill, cooks with the estate’s own olive oil and wine, and its menu draws on Provence and the wider Mediterranean. Tables are on the terrace looking over the vines, or in the courtyard beside the estate gardens.

Harvest at Noble Hill is a celebration of Provence’s culinary traditions through the lens of estate olive oil & wine. Inspired by the Domain of Olive Oil, Harvest takes inspiration from the markets of Provence, the fishing ports of the Marseillais coast, and the olive groves of the eastern Mediterranean to follow the shared language of a cooking medium. Southern France, Spain, Italy and Greece each have their own traditions, but olive oil runs through them all. Food that is built around good olive oil, fresh herbs, and honest ingredients. Lunch is unhurried and generous, eaten outdoors while the afternoon light moves through the vines. Guests sit on the terrace facing the Simonsberg, or in the courtyard looking over the estate gardens.
