Nestled among the rolling hills of the Durbanville Wine Valley, our farm boasts breathtaking views over Cape Town and the Atlantic seaboard. Just 10km from the ocean, the coastal influence plays a vital role in the way our vines flourish. During the hot summer months, cooling breezes help preserve the natural acidity of the fruit—a cornerstone of exceptional winemaking. In contrast, the cold, wet Cape Town winters allow the clay-rich soils of the Tygerberg to soak up and retain precious water, nurturing the vines through the season.

Our vineyards are lovingly managed by our family and a long-established team, who know the land intimately and make every decision with care. Each harvest, we select small, handcrafted vineyard parcels to produce wines that showcase the distinctive character of Durbanville grapes—vibrant, fruit-driven whites and elegantly balanced reds.

At harvest time, every vineyard is carefully monitored to determine the perfect moment to pick the grapes. Combining deep knowledge of the land, optimal ripening conditions, and modern winemaking technology, we craft wines that reflect both the richness of our terroir and our commitment to excellence.

All vineyards are managed by the family and their long established team, only they decide what is best. Small handcrafted vineyard parcels are chosen every harvest for their own wines. Selected mainly by the unique characteristics of Durbanville grapes – fruit driven white wines and well balanced red wines.

During harvest time, a watch full eye is kept on the vineyards, to decide when the best time is to pick the grapes. Optimal ripening conditions, knowledge of the land and modern technology work hand in hand to produce outstanding wines.

The story of Maastricht begins on 9 February 1702, when the farm was granted to Hendrick Seeger, a Dutch settler who arrived at the Cape with the Dutch East India Company. Like many early pioneers, Seeger and his peers sought fertile land near the Cape Colony to cultivate crops that could supply ships on their long voyages east.

Upon discovering the clay-rich soils and gently rolling hills of the Tygerberg region, the settlers were reminded of their homeland in the Netherlands – the city of Maastricht – and so the estate was named.

Though the original farmhouse was lost to a fire in the early 1900s, part of the current homestead dates back to the 1920s. Over the years, each owner added their own character and charm, leaving behind layers of heritage that still define the estate today.

During the Batavian Republic, Maastricht served as a meeting place, its tranquil setting shaded by a remarkable line of ancient oak trees planted in the 1700s by a Dutch monk. These trees, arranged in the shape of a cross, once marked a sacred space for prayer and ceremony – and they still stand proudly today as silent witnesses to centuries of change.

In the Napoleonic era, the Cape, particularly the Tygerberg Valley, became a vital supplier of grain and wheat thanks to its rich soils and mild climate. Historical records from the early 19th century list Maastricht among the first nine farms registered as wine producers, at a time when owning at least 10,000 vines was required to be recognized as a wine estate.

Today, more than three centuries later, the legacy of those early visionaries lives on – in our soils, our vineyards, and every bottle of Maastricht wine.
