Our Heritage

Three Centuries of
Vine and Tradition

Klein Parys is one of the most historic wine estates in Paarl. In 1692, Governor Willem Adriaan van der Stel granted this magnificent land to the Le Roux family, French Huguenots who had fled religious persecution in Europe and carried their love of wine to the southern tip of Africa.

The estate covers 56 hectares in the heart of the Cape Winelands, just 60 kilometres from Cape Town. It sits along the Berg River, beneath the Paarl Mountains, in a landscape that has scarcely changed in more than three centuries.

Personal care, passion and commitment embrace our wines, inviting our clients and consumers as partners and friends in this beautiful dream.

Kosie Möller, Director and Winemaker

In June 2002, Kosie Möller and his family acquired Klein Parys and set about restoring it to its rightful place among the Cape’s great estates. What they have built here is not simply a wine farm. It is a living piece of South African history.

The Craftsman

Kosie Möller

Widely regarded as South Africa’s most decorated winemaker, Kosie Möller holds a BSc in Agriculture from the University of Stellenbosch, graduating in 1991 with specialisations in oenology, viticulture and chemistry.

Oppiestoep Restaurant

Where the Stoep
Tells the Story

The Oppiestoep Restaurant is a beloved institution at Klein Parys Vineyards, with a warmth and character that has drawn visitors from across the country. In 2016, the celebrated KykNET television series Oppiestoep was filmed right here on the estate — a testament to the authentic South African soul of this place. The series became a national favourite, and with it, so did the restaurant.

Today this 160-seat restaurant is one of Paarl’s most treasured dining destinations. Positioned inside the winery itself, guests dine looking out over wine tanks and barrels, a view that very few restaurants in the world can offer.

The menu is honest, generous and proudly South African. Come and experience it for yourself.

The Land

Terroir of Extraordinary Character

Soil
From Alluvial to Hutton

Light alluvial soils along the Berg River nurture Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay with precision and freshness. Richer Hutton and Clovelly soils further inland lend power and structure to Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.

Harvest
Hand-Picked, Always

Every grape at Klein Parys is selected by hand. No machine can replicate the judgement of an experienced picker at harvest, and this care translates directly into the quality of every wine we produce.

The Berg River
Water, Roots and Rhythm

The famous Berg River runs along the boundary of Klein Parys for a full mile, moderating temperatures and feeding the alluvial soils that give our white wines their characteristic freshness and precision.

Climate
Mediterranean Perfection

Warm, sunny days give way to cool and crisp nights, the ideal rhythm for developing complex flavour while retaining natural acidity. Annual rainfall of 600 to 800 millimetres keeps irrigation to a minimum.
