Study tour through Europe Danie completed his cellar technology studies at the Elsenburg Agricultural College, after which he embarked on a study tour through the wine regions of Europe. He started his career in the wine industry in 1977 at Simonsig, whereafter he joined Gilbeys in 1980 and was given the responsibility of developing Hartenberg Estate as a premium wine producing farm. Danie bought Onderkloof in partnership with Beat Musfeld in 1997. The cellar was completed in 1999, in time for the maiden vintage. Danie says he is happy on the farm, especially as he can nurse the vineyards and be in control of the entire winemaking process from the vineyards to the tanks.
Onderkloof wines are available at wine stores and on the farm itself.
Tastings can be done by prior arrangement.
