Du Toitskloof Wine Cellar (DTK) was established by six wine farmers as a co-operative winery in 1962. Today it has 22 members, many of them second-generation descendants of the founding members. They all live in a close-knit community within a radius of 10 km from the cellar and all take a close interest in its activities. Where in the early years, when the industry was highly regulated, DTK produced mainly in bulk for the country’s produced wholesalers, since the early 1990’s it concentrates increasingly on the bottled wine market. It established from the outset its reputation as a progressive winery, not only in the innovative winemaking disciplines introduced in the cellar, but also in guiding members in planting those great noble cultivars ideally suited to the area’s temperate climate. Today it markets an extensive range of red and white table wines in addition to fortified wines. It recently took a major step up by introducing a range of high-value reserve wines.
