About
In the late 1600s, Eagles’ Nest operated as a commercial farm. For decades it produced export fruit and supplied vegetables to the local market. In the year 2000, tragedy struck when a devastating fire sprawled along the Cape Peninsula mountains, destroying 95% of the estate and wiping out the natural fynbos vegetation. In the wake of this event, we faced a critical choice: to rebuild or reimagine. After much consideration, we chose to shift the focus of our farm to winemaking. Along with the planting of vineyards, it was a priority to restore the indigenous flora. We planted 25,000 Silver Tree seeds and thousands of other fynbos varieties, carefully selecting species that would thrive in the Constantia mountains. Today, we are home to one of the largest Silver Tree plantations in South Africa.
