Montegray & Independents
Lovely Relaxed Atmosphere
Montegray & Independents is a wine bar that opened its doors in Stellenbosch in November 2017. Located along Bird Street, it serves as a go-to spot to while away the hours. Guests will be introduced to the flagship, small-batch Montegray wines, crafted from tiny, long Cape Winelands vineyards – with the very reason to celebrate this winelands. The grape varietals, reduced from large-scale blends will provide a benchmark of outstanding quality.
Accompanying these wines, the spotlight will be cast on a changing selection of interesting small, independent producer wines. These wines will always be selected according to a certain theme. The current theme is Far and Beyond (as oppose to Banghoek Valley previously) and Women in Wine in August. Current independent producers include Sijnn Wines (David Trafford – Malgas), Driehoek Wines (David Nieuwoudt – Cederberg) and Fable Mountain Vineyards (Tremayne Smith – Tulbagh).
