Knorhoek Wine Estate ('de plaats waar de leeuwen knorren' - the place where *lions growl), situated on the foothills of the Simonsberg mountain outside Stellenbosch.

The Cape Mountain *lion became extinct by the late 1700's, caracal are occasionally seen on the farm and leopard sightings still occur in the higher reaches of the surrounding mountains - hence the use of the leopard on the Knorhoek Estate wine labels.
