SOUTH ATLANTIC WINES: In 2003, we created a new division of Burdell Properties, South Atlantic Wines (SAW), and licensed our company in CA and nationally, with TTB, in order to import wines from our Silkbush Mountain Vineyard in South Africa.
For many years, our vineyard partnerships were one of Robert Mondavi Winery’s largest growers of grapes in Napa County. We have also sold substantial grape quantities to Korbel, Simi, Fetzer, Turning Leaf Reserve (Gallo) and Beringer wineries in past years. Wine made from our grapes can be found in the bottles of many excellent wineries, including Buehler, Dearden Family Wines, Duckhorn, Far Niente, Joel Gott, Jordan, Shibumi Knoll, and numerous other wineries.
