Andries Brink, well known for his contributions to science and art of
medicine has turned to the art and science of winemaking.
From a long
life interest in the heart and its well being, his wines are
heart-warming for that special occasion. Made from quality grapes grown
in the cool coastal Durbanville area, minimal intervention by the
winemaker allows this cultivar to express its full-bodied natural
character.
The name Galleon drives from the well-known ship and relates
to our Portuguese heritage. They were the first to discover and sail
around the Southern shores of Africa. It also refers to the site at
which the wine is made, close to the sea in front of a place popular to
fisherman, known as Galjoen gat (hole) where the delicate and unique
fish to our waters, the Galjoen, which is the Afrikaans for Galleon, is
to be found.
We strive for quality associated with the joy of the wine.
Grapes come from the centuries old Diemersdal Wine Estate of the Louw
family in Durbanville.
Galleon wines, white and red, are made to satisfy
everyone’s taste. View our wine selection
