The farm was named in 1704 when the settlers returned from an arduous journey to find their livestock gone and their home burnt down - hence the name Allesverloren meaning "all is lost". Present Owner, Danie Malan is the fifth generation on the farm, continuing the winemaking tradition of his forefathers who acquired the farm in 1872.

In a small cellar in the Jonkershoek valley limited quantities of hand-picked grapes are personally vinified by Ettiene le Riche into red wines which reflect the nature of the fruit and the soil. These wines are oak-matured and after further maturation they will be quite superb.

Rijk's Cellar is situated in the historic and picturesque valley of Tulbagh, where wines have been made for over three centuries.

Elegance, finesse and concentration of fruit are the hallmarks of Rijk's wines. In the last 14 years Rijk's Pinotage has won more local and international awards than any other producer of Pinotage in the world.  Cellermaster Pierre Wahl specially selected 15 barrels of the 2012 vintage to roudly release Rijk's Reserve Pinotage.
