RIO LARGO OLIVE ESTATE
‘Look for the red fox’ in the little Karoo, and you’ll find RIO LARGO Olive Estate. Situated in the Scherpenheuwel Valley, on the southern banks of the Breede River, the estate implements biodynamic farming practices, contributing to RIO LARGO’s farm-to-table philosophy of protecting the estate for future generations. Bought by Nick and Brenda Wilkinson from Carlos Raposo (the” Fox”) in 2010 — the estate comprises olive orchards, vines and a MORI TEM olive processing and bottling plant. The terroir is perfect for olive growing with high sunshine hours and cold winters. When you combine their Italian cultivars, state-of-the-art processing facilities and owner-driven passion, you have a winning recipe. A delicious olive oil — try it, you’ll love it!
