This well-established, family-owned winery gets its name from Quoin Point, the rocky, second-most southerly tip of Africa, and it’s on the nearby cold Agulhas Plain where vines on the farm Boskloof supply grapes for some of the white wines. The balance of fruit is from very different but also cooler terrain on Stellenbosch’s Simonsberg, where winemaker Schalk Opperman works in a modern, unusually large cellar, bordered by vines that reach skyward and enjoy a view that long-serving viticulturist Nico Walters never seems to tire of.
