A family with a passion for South Africa
Husband and wife entrepreneurs Friedrich-Wilhelm and Elke Dauphin have already achieved great success on the international market with their stylish, high-quality office furniture and have been passionate about South Africa for many decades now.
The couple did not have to think twice when they were offered the ALLÉE BLEUE Estate in this outstandingly beautiful setting. The Dauphin's themselves have taken great pains to restore ALLÉE BLEUE to its former glory. They made the decision to resume winegrowing on the site after a break of 150 years. The wines from the estate complement the herbs and fruits which are very much in demand on the South African market and beyond. Although they were newcomers at first, they have since gone on to become passionate winegrowers.
