Our Story

Fort Simon Wine Estate lies in the Bottelary Hills of Stellenbosch — a landscape known for its elevation, cooling maritime influence and decomposed granite soils.

The property was historically known as Houmoed, meaning “keep faith”, a sentiment that continues to guide the estate’s long-term philosophy.

Fort Simon is a family estate built on continuity — where each generation contributes to something intended to endure.
