Ladybird Vineyards
At the foot of Simonsberg in Stellenbosch, Ladybird Vineyards is a new name for an old site: the former Laibach farm, acquired by neighbouring Kanonkop in 2022 and relaunched with a sharper focus on place.
The vineyards sit on deep red hillside soils with cooling maritime influence from nearby False Bay, stretching ripening and preserving natural freshness. Organic farming has been part of the story since the 1990s—no herbicides, careful canopy work and tight pruning that deliberately limits buds and yield.
In the cellar, “minimal intervention” is more than a slogan: clean, well‑sorted fruit allows gentle extraction and transparent élevage. The result is Stellenbosch character expressed through structure and precision, a Simonsberg line that feels confident, modern and unmistakably rooted in its terroir.Ladybird Vineyards
