The Unexpected
Tim Rudd, proprietor, has spent much time in the vineyards of the Mediterranean. His vision is to explore the lesser-known wine varietals of Portugal, Italy and France here in Paarl, South Africa. Together with Winemaker Xander Sadie and Assistant Winemaker Shanice du Preez, intriguing blends, unusual technique combinations, and the joy of discovery collide in each bottle at Brookdale Estate.
Our curiosity inspires us to try harder, to push further and to explore things more deeply with every vintage of Brookdale wine.
The Inspired
What was once a forgotten vineyard, is now a place of imagination and tranquility, a refuge for the inquisitive and the inspired. Brookdale Estate Manor House overlooks sprawling vines beneath open African skies in a valley hugged by dramatic mountains. Stay in the Paarl Wine Valley at a world-class country estate, inspired by the villas of Europe.
Love, light, & life’s special moments
