Historic Wines Of The Cape, Milnerton

Historic Wines of the Cape (Pty.) Limited (HWC) was established in 2000, as a Wine Warehousing and Distribution Services Company, at the initiative of Hein Koegelenberg, CEO of La Motte Wine Estate and Leopard’s Leap Family Vineyards, and his father-in-law, industrialist (the late) Dr. Anton Rupert.The objective was to establish an undertaking that would operate mainly as (a) a services company and (b) a distribution company. It was to become the premier distribution agent for noble South African wines, internationally and locally, providing a professional, cost-effective service to the three historic Rupert wine farms in the Franschhoek Valley, namely La Motte Estate, L’Ormarins and Fredericksburg (today Rupert & Rothschild Vignerons) . Symbolic of the historic association, the foundation-dated gables of these farms — Fredericksburg (1690), L’Ormarins (1694) and La Motte (1695)— are featured in the HWC logo.Services were to be focused primarily on Rupert-owned farms, though several other high-profile Cape wine farms were accommodated during the initial stage. Today, as a result of the significant growth in the Rupert brands and the more extensive demands.
