The promise of Rainbow’s End is in its fertility and climate. Situated on high-lying slopes, rising to 540m above sea level, the estate backs on to the Jonkershoek Mountain and overlooks the prized and productive Banghoek basin, which is encircled by mountains.

Experts have affirmed the potential of the land to produce wines that can compete internationally. Promise implies the commitment and care to make it all come true. Working with the soil, the rain and the sunshine, Jacques and his family planted and nurtured 22 hectares of vineyards. The order of the trellised rows of vines takes its cue from the lie of the land and the picture is of patterns of green in harmony with the slopes and curves of the landscape.

This wine is Limited for the following reasons: Only one block on our farm (0.8 hectare) that is 100% dedicated to this label. A single clone, 312, is used for the Ltd Release No one in SA makes a Cabernet Franc from this clone alone, making it very unique and offering you something you cannot get anywhere else. Yearly we produce a mere 250-350 cases of the Cabernet Franc Ltd Release. All this being said, it is not necessarily a better wine than our Cabernet Franc, it just possesses other qualities that sets it apart. And of course there is a very limited amount available yearly. It has a more fruity body with more prominent red fruit flavours and is quite lively on the pallet.
