Brookdale Estate has launched the Brookdale Wine Club, inviting wine lovers to follow the estate’s evolution and discover new and exclusive wines from its Paarl cellar.

Limited to just 75 members, the club offers a closer connection with the estate, including early access to new releases, private tastings and winemaker events.

A highlight is the annual members-only harvest wine, launching with the 2025 Brookdale Grenache Blanc. Produced in fewer than 1,000 bottles, this limited release is available exclusively to club members and served at the Bistro at Brookdale, an Eat Out One Star restaurant, while stocks last.

Membership is activated through a single purchase of 18 bottles, with members free to mix and match across Brookdale’s five wines: Bradbourne Estate White Blend, Old Vine Chenin Blanc, Grenache Noir, Twenty Red Field Blend and Sixteen White Field Blend. There is no separate membership fee.

The club reflects Brookdale’s spirit of curiosity and experimentation, rooted in the Rudd family’s transformation of the farm since acquiring it in 2016. With much of the original vineyard replanted to explore the potential of the estate’s terroir, the vines are now coming into their own, revealing new expressions with each vintage.

“Curiosity is at the heart of Brookdale,” says Tim Rudd. The Wine Club, he explains, offers an opportunity to share the estate’s ongoing exploration in the vineyards and cellar with wine lovers who are interested in where its journey leads next.
