About
Welgegund, established in 1777, means well-bestowed’. It is the perfect title for this family owned heritage estate, nestled at the foot of the magnificent Hawequa mountains at the end of an oak-lined cul-de-sec in Wellington.
Friedrich Kuhne has been part of the Welgegund team since 2014, living on Welgegund with his winemaker wife and two dogs. He is a dedicated and results driven winemaker with a wealth of experience in South Africa, France and the USA with numerous awards and accolades providing generous testimony to his skill. His planning ability, technical knowledge, perseverance and absolute passion for quality wines has added enormously to
the ability of Welgugend to coax it soils into continuing to produce the exceptional wines that are hallmarks of Welgegund's heritage.
"At Welgegund Heritage Wines we only bottle our premium high-end wines in great years", says winemaker, Friedrich Kuhne. “Well-bestowed takes on a new meaning at Welgegund when we are blessed with excellent vintages, when our climate and terroir come together perfectly to produce exceptional wines.” Welgegund wine range consists of Rhone varieties such as Old Vine Cinsault, Grenache Noir, Rhone blend called Providence and Old Vine Chenin blanc.
