Appellation
Banghoek is a high-altitude ward in the eastern reaches of Stellenbosch, tucked between the Simonsberg and Drakenstein mountains. Its elevated vineyards and decomposed granite soils produce structured, age-worthy reds, especially Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, alongside crisp, mineral-driven whites like Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. With its cooler mountain influence and growing focus on site expression, Banghoek has emerged as one of Stellenbosch’s most refined and distinctive subzones.
