How to Buy Somerbosch Wines

Updated

You can buy Somerbosch wines in two ways: order online through the Buy Wine section of somerbosch.co.za, which runs on a shopping cart (the site shows a cart total in rand, e.g. "R 0,00 0 Cart"), or purchase and taste the wines in person at the farm between Stellenbosch and Somerset West. The online route suits buyers who already know what they want; the farm visit suits anyone who wants to taste before committing.

Buying Online

The site's main navigation includes Buy Wine alongside Home, About Us, Bistro & Deli, Wine Tasting, Events and Contact Us.

  1. Open somerbosch.co.za and select Buy Wine from the menu.
  2. Browse the wine listings and add the bottles you want to the cart.
  3. Open the cart, check your items and the rand total, and proceed to checkout.
  4. Complete the order with your delivery details.

Expected result: an order confirmation for your selected wines. The site does not publish delivery fees, delivery areas or payment methods, so confirm those at checkout or via the Contact Us page before relying on a particular delivery date.

What you can buy

The range covers red, white, rosé and MCC (Cap Classique sparkling) wines, including "noble cultivars" — the classic grape varieties. Specific bottlings named on the site include Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. The limited-edition Somerbosch Kylix is released only in vintages nature allows, so it may not always be in stock; treat it as an occasional find rather than a staple order.

Buying at the Farm

If you would rather taste first, the farm offers a Wine Tasting experience, and the on-site Bistro & Deli lets you eat and shop in one visit. This is the better option if you are choosing between several styles, want to try the MCC or Kylix before buying, or are visiting the Helderberg area and would rather not pay for shipping.

Common Snags

  • Cart shows R 0,00: the cart is simply empty; add items from the Buy Wine section.
  • Kylix not listed: it is a limited release, so availability depends on the vintage.
  • Unclear shipping or payment terms: these are not stated on the site; use the Contact Us page to confirm before ordering.

For background on the estate — a working farm held by the Roux family for over half a century, with wines made by brothers Japie and Marius Roux since 1995 — see the About Us and Our Story pages.
