Org de Rac was purchased in 2000 by Nico Bacon, an entrepreneur in the South African fishing industry who had a vision of establishing a wine farm committed to offering local and international consumers fine wines made from sustainably grown grapes. The first vines were planted in 2002.

During the establishing of Org de Rac, the best-known specialists were brought in to assist in achieving the ultimate goal. Soil classifications showed the physical structure and chemical analysis to determine which grape varieties are best suitable to our unique terroir.

The first wines Org de Rac wines were released in 2005, and since then the farm has built a reputation for a distinctive and quality range of wines made from organically farmed grapes. Also for being a renowned South African exporter, and multi-award winning local producer.
