Tooverberg, which translates as “Magic Mountain”, is the Afrikaans name for a spectacular flat-topped, isolated peak in the Little Karoo region to the north of Paarl. This mountain was well known to the early “trekkers” (farmers) from the Cape heading into the interior, as a landmark and resting place, on the long trip up to Johannesburg.

This is a vast, 3000Ha mixed estate, which is managed for vines and sheep farming but which is also being enclosed to protect and encourage the wild game; Springbok, Kudu and even Leopard. It is still a wild and beautiful place about 80km from the nearest “major” town, Ceres.

Due to the isolation of the farm there is no winery there, so the fruit is entirely vinified at Klein Parys Vineyards.

The name Miller's Mile originates from Kosie Möller (the Möller ancestors were millers in Germany) and his farm Klein Parys, which is stretched out for a Mile next to the Berg River outside Paarl.

For more than 350 years, the cultures of Africa, Europe and the East have gathered in Cape Town, gateway to the South African Winelands, a city rich with colourful history and culturally vibrancy. In terms of world wine production, the Miller's range has adopted this vibrant, diverse culture.

South Africa ranks as number nine in volume production & produces 3.1% of the world’s wine. Currently 98 605 hectares of vines constitutes plantings for wine in South Africa. White varietals constituting 55% of the plantings, with Chenin Blanc plantings comprising 20% of the total. Red varietals account for 45% of the national vineyard. The most widely planted red varietal is Cabernet Sauvignon, accounting for 15% of the total. Shiraz now accounts for 9%, while Pinotage, which is indigenous to South Africa, and Merlot each represent 7%. The Miller's Mile range consists of all these cultivars and blends them very well to create and even more unique style own to Kosie Möller.

The traditional viticultural regions of the Cape Peninsula and surrounding regions have a Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and good winter rainfall, making irrigation unnecessary in most regions.
