Stellar Organic Winery
Who We Are
Stellar Winery is South Africa's largest producer of organic Fairtrade wine. Over 2 million bottles per annum are made for the local market and export destinations in Europe, the United Kingdom, USA, Canada and Asia.
Situated in the semi-arid Namaqualand hamlet of Trawal, the cellar processes grapes from company-owned and independent organic producers in the Olifants River Valley.
Stellar has achieved a number of "firsts" in the wine industry. It was the first organic winemaking operation in the world to gain the coveted Fairtrade certification and the first cellar in Africa to produce commercially viable no-sulphur-added wines.
The organic vineyards and winemaking process are certified by Control Union Certifications, based in the Netherlands.
The wines reflect their place of origin. The style is crisp, fruity whites from the cooler vineyards close to the Atlantic coast and brilliantly-coloured reds full of berry flavours. Our specialist no-added-sulphur range is one of Stellar's most sought-after products. All Stellar wines are vegan friendly.

Stellar Winery moving to Fair for Life fair trade system
11 Jul 2011
Following a detailed review, South Africa's Stellar Winery has announced that they are to move from the FLO Fairtrade system to Fair for Life, a Swiss-based fair trade auditor and the social and fairtrade arm of IMO (Institute for Marketecology). The decision has been made in order to maximise the benefits to its workers and communities. Since 2004, Stellar Winery has been a certified FLO Fairtrade producer. The reasons for entering the fair trade system were to build a sustainable business, to work and grow in harmony with the environment, to provide opportunity for workers to improve their lives and aspire to their highest potential and to exist in harmony with, and add value to, the surrounding communities.
