ABOUT STELLAR WINERY
Stellar Organic Winery is situated in the Lower Olifants River Valley in a semi-arid area known as Namaqualand, named after the nomadic Nama people who were its original inhabitants. The magnificent cosmic displays in the night sky give the winery its name.
Stellar’s reputation is built on innovative winemaking, eco-friendly farming and production and fair trading. The first vintage from organically-grown grapes was released in 2001 and since then the cellar’s output has grown to over 2 million bottles a year. Stellar Organics is the no.1 organic wine brand in the UK and our products are an Ethical Consumer Best Buy.
Twelve independent farms supply the winery with organic, fair trade grapes, making up the Stellar Winery Multi-Estate. The farms are situated in the Lower Olifants River Valley, from Trawal in the south through to Koekenaap, close to the mouth of the Olifants River on the Atlantic coast. The cultivars grown are: Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Muscat d’Alexandrie, Colombar, Semillon, Viognier, Cabernet Sauvignon, Ruby Cabernet, Shiraz, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Pinotage and red and white Muscadel.
FAIR TRADING
All the farms and the winery have fair trade structures. Fair trade premiums and community improvement projects are managed by workers who serve on the fair trade committees. The workers have a 26% share in the winery as well as in other economic interests as beneficiaries of the Stellar Empowerment Trust. Community projects in the areas of home improvements, health, education and sport and recreation have been successfully implemented and will in future be managed by the Stellar Foundation, a non-profit organisation.

Stellar Organics
Organic refers to a system of farming that maintains and replenishes the fertility of the soil. The grapes are grown without the use of chemical pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, or fertilizers. Only compost and organic materials are used, with indigenous vegetation for mulching.
Organic wines are wines produced from organically-grown grapes. A small quantity of sulphur dioxide preservative is permitted in these wines.
In addition to its standard organic product, Stellar also produces a range of organic wines made without added sulphur dioxide to cater for those with a sensitivity to this substance.

Heaven on Earth Natural Sweet Wine
Sweet vin de paille made from Muscat grapes partially dried on organic straw and Redbush. Non-vintage. This natural sweet dessert wine is light gold in colour.

The wine has a good acidity that prevents a cloying sweetness and allows a clean finish.
