Fleur du Cap

Fleur du Cap was originally the name of one of a famous old wine farm in Somerset West and a brand name used the Bergkelder in Stellenbosch by Stellenbosch Farmers' Winery.

It is also the name chosen to rename the former Three Leaf Awards in 1979, when Stellenbosch Farmers' Winery and Distillers Corporation merged to form Distell. The Fleur du Cap Theatre Awards was sponsored by the Oude Meester Foundation for the Arts (later the Distell Arts and Culture) and when speaking of them, people tend to say someone has won a Fleur du Cap Award or more often simply a Fleur du Cap.
