Welcome to The High Road

Home to elegant Bordeaux style red blended wines. We are an exclusive boutique winery in Stellenbosch producing only 2000 cases of wine a year. Our niche is Bordeaux blends and we produce 2 wines a year, the Classique and the Reserve.

To understand The High Road wine evolution one has to do a bit of probing into its creators path. Please see the About Us section to get to know The High Road a bit better.

In 1994, South Africa took The High Road and changed for the better. After many years of segregation, the people of the country chose another route – that of democracy. With Nelson Mandela as President, along with the guidance of F W de Klerk, the High Road was achieved.

No longer is South Africa the ostracized state, now it is seen as the new beginning where nothing is impossible. As a tribute to a peaceful transition to a democracy, Les Sweidan decided to produce a wine that reflected the new beginning of this great nation – he called it The High Road. Shortly thereafter Les was joined by Mike Church who shared his passion and vision. The quality that is encapsulated in the brand articulates the essence of The High Road wines styled after Bordeaux eminence.
