About Longridge

Enjoyable wines, healthy to drink, world-class standard

Longridge is one of the leading Biodynamic and Organic wine estates in the heart of the Cape Winelands near Stellenbosch. The estate works alongside nature, never forcing the vines in a direction but rather letting them guide the winemaking, allowing them to show their natural terroir-driven character. Organic viticulture methods are utilised to the fullest in Longridge's vineyards, with a commitment to producing excellent quality wines with minimal environmental impact. The estate's biodynamic practices ensure that every aspect of farming — from soil health to biodiversity — supports the natural expression of the land. Head winemaker Jasper Raats says their philosophy is simple: "We want to make enjoyable wines, which are healthy to drink and of a world-class standard." Under his guidance, Longridge has built a diverse portfolio that ranges from elegant estate Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay to structured reds and the celebrated Emily Rose, all reflecting the unique character of their Stellenbosch terroir.
