Post House Cellars derives its name from the small Post Office which used to serve the local missionary community of Raithby and which is now the winery office and residence. The farm was bought by the Gebers family in 1981 in the picturesque area between the towns of Somerset West and Stellenbosch, and is situated at the foothills of the Helderberg Mountain. On a clear day Cape Point and False Bay are visible from the winery. This area is one of the preeminent wine regions in South Africa. Situated 7km from the False Bay coast a breach in the coastal ridge channels the south and south west winds towards the vineyards. These are generally cool breezes; they help moderate summer temperatures. The property covers a total of 71 hectares of which 45 hectares falls under vineyard.
