Achim von Arnim
Achim von Arnim is a man in love with life's zing.
His seemingly boundless energy, his ever-inquiring mind and his
love of phenomenal wine, art and poetry ensure that Achim is one of
SA's most well-known wine personalities.
Achim's well-respected career began with a 4-year apprenticeship at
EK Greens. He then traveled abroad to continue his studies in
Europe, specifically France and Germany. The focus, back then, was
on learning slowly and thoroughly. It was about getting yourself
completely enmeshed in the process. Achim's attributes his, and
Haute Cabrière's, holistic view of wine making to these early
adventures.
In the art of wine-growing Achim has found a passion he'll never
tire of, an unpredictable, spellbinding and completely captivating
love.

Winery
Franschhoek, Western
Cape
Comprised of two farms,
situated on opposite ends of the breathtaking Franschhoek Wine
Valley, Haute Cabrière is something extraordinary. A rich history,
a whimsical setting, a seductive approach to wine and a magnetic
proprietor ensure that Haute Cabrière is a decadent affair for any
visitor.
In the heart of the Haute
Cabrière vineyards lies an unassuming sundial. This sundial is
uniquely marked by an inscription on its pillar. It reads "Sun,
Soil, Vine, Man" and these four words form the crux of the Haute
Cabrière philosophy.
The core belief that wine
is grown not made makes the farm's ethos incredibly real and
intrinsically human.
This is seductive
conviction and it's intertwined with the farm's ultimate philosophy
that wine is bigger than one, it's the combination of four: Sun,
Soil, Vine, Man.
