Sumaridge is situated on what I feel is one of the most amazing roads in the Western Cape, the Hemel-en-Aarde Road in Hermanus.  Hemel-en-Aarde literally means Heaven and Earth, hence you will see just why it is named that when you visit this valley.  The Valley is often referred to as "Little Burgundy" due to it's reputation for producing world class cool climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

There are thirteen wine estates along this heavenly road, and every time we visit Hermanus we are drawn to Sumaridge.

The owners are Simon Turner and his wife Holly Bellingham, who have owned the estate since 2008.  Simon and Holly divide their time between Hermanus and England.

I was so excited to review Sumaridge for my food and wine blog in Cape Town, especially since their Rosé is named Tara! How cool is that?! (see  last pic).  

In 2018 Sumaridge Estate Wines won the Lifestyle Award "Vineyard of the Year" - and you will see just why when you visit them.
