Home to some of the darkest wines you will find anywhere.



Post House wines are perhaps the darkest coloured wine to be found anywhere. The objective is to interfere as little as possible in the creation of the wine making process. We use traditional wine making methods including natural yeast fermentation, basket pressing and no fining or filtering.
“There is no single activity which results in a great wine, but rather a combination of activities which add up to something great and unique. We guarantee you have never tasted wines quite like ours.”

There is no single activity which results in a great wine, but rather a combination of activities which add up to something great and unique.
One of these steps is in essence a conscious step back by interfering as little as possible in the creation of the wine making process and incorporating traditional wine making methods. This includes natural yeast fermentation, basket pressing and no fining or filtering.

Hermann Gebers bought the farm in 1981 in the picturesque area between the towns of Somerset West and Stellenbosch. Situated on a ridge, the winery offers panoramic views of Cape Point, False Bay and the surrounding Helderberg Mountains.
As the Homestead had originally operated as the Helderberg Post Office in the early 1900s, it was a logical step to associate the wine with its postal origin. The winery was thus named Post House.

A gorgeous location with picturesque views of vineyards, the Helderberg mountain and False Bay exudes charm in a rustic country setting.
This spacious venue offers an old world feel with rustic doors, stained glass windows, a high ceiling and chandeliers. The vintage interiors are authentic, comfortable and picturesque. We can accommodate up to 150 guests, yet is intimate enough for smaller occasions.

“My lovely friends and I went to Post House this past weekend for a wine-tasting experience and we left with many bottles in hand, as well as a pleasant taste in our mouths. You could quite literally taste the care that was put into the crafting of their fine wines. James was a remarkable host and effortlessly created an atmosphere akin to that of spending time with an old friend. He was knowledgeable and especially welcoming, taking us on a tour and always making sure that there was wine in our glasses as we sat and chatted. We will be back soon and I will make sure to recommend Post House to every wine lover that I know!”

Ever wondered why our wines are some of the darkest in the world?
It’s all in the balance: lean soils, low yields, no filtering = bold, inky wines full of soul.
