Spring has arrived at The Dog Star, and suddenly there are flowers everywhere. 🌸

In the garden, along the paths, between the vines. The farm is waking up.

Come see it in bloom.

A little starlight of our own. ✨

The 2026 Tim Atkin South Africa Special Report has been released, and we are incredibly proud to see both of our Dog Star Chardonnays recognised:

⭐ 93 points | 2023 The Dog Star Chardonnay Barrel Fermented
⭐ 91 points | 2025 The Dog Star Chardonnay Sur Lie

Two w**es. Two different expressions of Chardonnay. Both born from this little piece of earth that surrounds The Dog Star Manor.

To receive this recognition from Tim Atkin is a wonderful honour, and one we’re very proud to share.

A lovely review from a recent guest at The Dog Star:

“Thank you, Karen and John for the lovely stay in your home. It’s such a serene place and we enjoyed the nature and birds everyday. The Silverthorn bubbles tasted even better with all the surroundings. In addition, the house is even bigger in real life and offers many ways to enjoy your holiday. We would love to come back!”

Thank you, Amanda. We would love to welcome you back too.

Come and experience The Dog Star for yourself.

While winter still lingers on the farm, the first blossoms are already beginning to appear. A small reminder that the seasons are always moving, whether we’re ready for them or not.

Winter slowly giving way to what comes next.

Thank you, Girl on the Go, for spending the morning with us and for sharing such kind words. It was a pleasure welcoming you to Silverthorn.

One of the things our guests love most about staying at The Dog Star is that you're already on Silverthorn W**es.

Enjoy a guided tasting of our award-winning Cap Classiques, hear the stories behind the w**es from John or Karen, then simply stroll back to your private luxury retreat among the vineyards.

No rushing. No driving. Just great w**e, beautiful surroundings and time to savour it all.

It’s a familiar routine. A quiet start to the day. John Loubser and Harry walking side by side.

Staying at The Dog Star means experiencing more than a luxury retreat. It means becoming part of the rhythm of a working w**e estate, where every day starts with nature, fresh air and a deep connection to the land.

This is life at The Dog Star Manor.
