Restless River Wines

Craig Wessels, owner and winemaker of Restless River, descends from the first settled European to live in and farm the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, and therefore intrinsically connects with the land. This cool climate region is only 5km away from the South Atlantic Ocean, reaching an altitude of more than 300 metres.

He runs the winery together with his wife, Anne, and since their first launch in 2012, Restless River has stunned all with wines that have reached internationally acclaim and are found on prestigious restaurant wine lists around the world.  

Harvest for the 2019 Main Road and Dignity Cabernet Sauvignon lasted almost a month approximating from the end of March – early April. Every single grape is awarded care and attention, and in the winery, parcels are vinified separately. It spent 23 months maturing in barrel and is awarded the same time ageing in bottle before release.
