Rainbow's End
is a wine estate in Stellenbosch, one of South Africa's most famous wine regions. The story of Rainbow's End is a story of passion, hard work and family cohesion.
The winery is located in the Banghoek Valley, a remote part of Stellenbosch. The land on which Rainbow's End stands today was purchased by the Malan family in 1979. The family was originally involved in other areas of agriculture, but decided to take up the challenge and set up a wine estate.
Gerard Malan, the father of the family, had always had a love for viticulture and decided to realise his dream of growing grapes. Despite the difficult conditions in the Banghoek Valley, which was still relatively unknown for winegrowing at the time, he laid the foundations for Rainbow's End.
The Malan family attached great importance to quality and craftsmanship. Viticulture was initially carried out with a lot of manual labour and every step in the production process was supervised by the family themselves. Over the years, the winery gained recognition for its handcrafted wines, particularly its reds, which are characterised by their complex character and depth.
Today, the winery is run by Gerard Malan's sons, Anton and Francois. They have continued their father's vision and raised the winery to a new level. They experiment with different grape varieties and use innovative viticultural techniques to make the most of the Banghoek Valley terroir.
Rainbow's End has become a respected winery in South Africa, recognised for its excellence and respect for tradition. The name ‘Rainbow's End’ symbolises the promise of something precious and beautiful at the end of a long journey, which perfectly reflects the history of this family business.
