Restless River

Restless River is a small family run wine estate owned by Craig and Anne Wessels in the Upper Hemel en Aarde Valley. They bought the 20 ha farm in 2004 which came with Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon vines. Craig decided that his first vintage would be Cabernet Sauvignon despite being advised against it. Craig took up the challenge and has not looked back - his Main Road & Dignity Cabernet Sauvignon has received international acclaim and their focus on Cabernet Sauvignon sets them apart from the other producers in the area. The Restless River label was launched in 2012 and since then they have caused much excitement in the wine world with their unique and elegant wines. Some say they have created a cult following.
