Dainty Bess

Dainty Bess originally started in 2009 when my parents, Naas and Jenny Ferreira, made sparkling wine from a small vineyard planted at Klein Optenhorst, their unforgettably beautiful garden in Wellington. 

After 29 years, they decided to sell the Klein Optenhorst to begin a new gardening venture in Montagu. I resolved to continue producing the wine as it holds many memories of special occasions at our family home, the name now changed to Dainty Bess, after one of my mother's favourite roses.
