Longridge Winery

Stellenbosch Bordeaux blends and cool-climate Chardonnay with critical recognition.

Longridge Winery sits in Stellenbosch, the heart of South Africa's Coastal Region, where maritime influence and mountain terrain shape wines of precision and depth. The winery's portfolio centers on two distinct expressions: Clos du Ciel, a Chardonnay that captures the region's cool-climate potential, and two Bordeaux-inflected blends—Misterie, built on Merlot and Cabernet Franc, and Ekliptika, a three-varietal composition anchored by Cabernet Franc and Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon. These wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, and Wine Enthusiast. The Chardonnay and both blends demonstrate the structural sophistication and fruit balance that define serious Stellenbosch winemaking, where old soils and careful viticulture yield wines of substance.
