Exceptional handcrafted wines that reflect a true sense of place and elevated mountain vineyards.

Uva Mira is a family owned boutique winery perched on the slopes of the majestic Helderberg Mountains located in the Stellenbosch region of the Western Cape, South Africa - an area that has consistently been producing some of the best wines in the country for years.

The farm is the highest of those on the Helderberg boasting 360-degree views which include Table Mountain, Cape Point, Robben Island, False Bay and Table Bay.

Our unique high-altitude mountain vineyards located between 420 and 620 meters above sea level provide a cool climate that gives our elegant wines a distinctive character and uncompromising quality.

Denise Weedon, the widow of one of South Africa's past mining magnates, owns Uva Mira. Matthew van Heerden works as both viticulturist and winemaker on the farm. He is dedicated to the pursuit of utmost fruit purity, quality and making site-specific wines that reflect a true sense of place. He places the highest emphasis on viticulture ensuring the farm produces exceptional fruit with which to make great wines that reflect our vineyard sites.
