Wineries of the Durbanville Wine Route SIGNAL GUN As the shot of the Signal Gun echoes through the vineyards of our picturesque farm it signals the start of a new generation of wine making. The VOC installed more than 50 canons on hills and mountains around the Cape to form a signal gun chain that could call the Burgher Militia to defend the Cape as well as to call the farmers to bring their fresh produce if a friendly ship was sighted. This signal gun chain extended from the Signal Hill, Cape Town via Durbanville to Citrusdal in the north west, Worcester in the north and via Tygerberg to Suurbraak beyond Swellendam in the east. One of these canons are still used to fire on our farm today, 300 years later, but only on joyful occasions. Winemaker MJ de Wit, started making wines in 2006 as a hobby, which has since developed into a ever growing business. We pride ourselves in making small quantities of fine wine from carefully selected grapes. Ke-Monate, a Bistro Restaurant, located on the farm, was launched in October 2010 to promote the Signal Gun wines.
