About this Item
Established in 1693, Normandie is one of the original 29 French Huguenot-settled farms in Franschhoek in the Cape Winelands. Located on the mid slopes of the majestic Groot Drakenstein Mountain peak, the estate lies just 28km from the Atlantic Ocean. A third of the 48-hectare property is planted to vine with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot grape varieties. The harmonious combination of Normandie’s unique terroir, uncompromising expertise in the vineyards and their passion for hands-on winemaking results in iconic wines of exceptional quality.

Critics Ratings
‘Eisen en Viljoen is an ambitious - and ambitiously priced - Bordeaux blend from Johan Viljoen, sourced from slopes on the Banghoek side of Franschhoek. Marrying Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and Petit Verdot, it's serious, textured and alluring with cassis, mint and wet stone notes, polished tannins and beautifully handled oak. 2020-25.’ - Tim Atkin SA Special Report 2019, 94/100
