Wineries of the Durbanville Wine Route HILLCREST Hillcrest Estate was purchased in 1984 to accommodate the head office and workshop of a Cape based Construction Company. The potential for growth of quality wine and olives was soon recognized, and the owners decided to plant Sauvignon blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon vines. The Durbanville Hills winery was established during that time, and a contact to sell the fruit to that winery was signed. In 2001 the owners or Hillcrest Estate were approached by current winemaker, Dr Graeme Read, who with the dream of a micro-cellar in mind, persuaded the owners to start their own cellar to make wine using the estate’s grapes. They liked the idea. The following season 8 tons of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes were pressed & vinified making 2002 the maiden vintage for Hillcrest.
