In 1919, the then owner Hennie Malan divided the farm vertically in order to sell half of the land to his brother-in-law. The development of Malan's share was a co-operative venture between himself and his son, Manie. In the next few years they set about converting this partial wilderness into a wine farm, to which they gave the Latin name, Alto. Today, Alto Wine Estate sports 93 hectares of land under vines and has earned more than 70 gold medals in local and international wine competitions. Le Bonheur, meaning happiness, dates back to the 1790's. Hand sorting the grapes at Le Bonheur has remained their tradition. Le Bonheur's wines are acclaimed both locally and internationally, and they consistently receive prestigious awards in top wine competitions across the globe.
