Joostenberg is situated in the south western part of the Paarl region. The climate is Mediterranean i.e. cold, wet winters and dry summers. Soils are a combination of decomposed granite and clay shale. Distance to the ocean is approximately 30km resulting in regular and helpful cool breezes . The vines are farmed organically and every effort is made to follow practices that are respectful of the environment. Vine age varies from 4 to 39 years.

Maturation “sur lies” for 10 months.

Hand-picked in the cool morning hours and whole-bunch pressed. Spontaneous fermentation in terracota amphora (60%) and seasoned oak barrels (40%).

Joostenberg is a family-owned Paarl wine estate farmed by the Myburgh family since 1879, with winemaking revived by brothers Tyrrel and Philip Myburgh in 1999. Certified organic since 2012, the estate is particularly known for Chenin Blanc and Syrah, with a focus on natural winemaking, site expression and environmental responsibility.
