Towards the end of the 19th century, the owner of the winery returned from his journey from Cape Town to find his farm ablaze.

His cry "alles verloren" (all lost) eventually gave his winery its name. The current owners of the winery – the Malan family – specialize in robust and fruit-driven red wines.

Since 1987, Daniel Malan has been the cellar master at Allesverloren Winery and is one of the most experienced cellar masters in the Cape.

The Allesverloren vineyards rise on the imposing Kasteelberg in the picturesque Riebeek Valley in the Swartland.

The vineyards are located between 170 m and 350 m above sea level and benefit from a rainfall variance of 200mm. Cold and wet winters are followed by warm, dry summers, during which the grapes ripen easily and exhibit a high sugar concentration.

The soils on this Swartland farm are a mixture of shale and weathered sandstone – a stony structure that is crucial for the special character of the Allesverloren wines.

After the grape harvest, this wine matures for 18 months in old and some new French barriques.
