Montagu Co-operative Wine cellar Limited is situated at the beginning of the Little Karoo about 200km from Cape Town on Route 62. Montagu Muskadelboere Koöperasie (name changed in 1992 to Montagu Koöperatiewe Wynkelder Bpk) was founded on 17 March 1941 with 15 members under the leadership of Mr DJ Burger Snr as chairman. The cellar was built, and wine was produced under the supervision of wine pioneers, Dr Costa and Mr Moni. The Monis Marsala and Moscato (a method of making muscadel) had its origin in this very same cellar that is still used today for our own products and so the tradition is kept alive. From 800 tons of grapes and 15 members in 1942 the cellar grew to 16 000 tons of grapes and 41 members in 2017. Now, the cellar produces white and red muscadel. The cellar is proud of several trophies won by its champion wines. The cellar has also won the title of “Champion wine cellar of the region” several times. The cellar’s red muscadel has been selected for the renowned Nederburg Wine Auction four times where it was described as “the best wine for the price anywhere in the world”.
