Peter Bayly

Peter Bayly Wines is a small boutique winery situated at the foot of the majestic Swartberg Mountains, in the beautiful Groenfontein Valley, just outside Calitzdorp.

Peter and Yvonne Bayly headed into this secluded valley over a decade ago to fulfil their lifelong dream of crafting artisanal wines and “live free-range” in one of the most secluded areas of South Africa.

At a bend in the river, with the majestic Swartberg as backdrop, lies a meticulously tended 1.2 hectares of Touriga Naçional, Tinta Barroca and Souzão planted in between shale and quartz.  These Portuguese varietals were chosen by the Baylys in 2000, with the explicit aim of crafting the finest Cape Port and distinctive Klein Karoo red wines.
