Joostenberg is situated in the south western part of the Paarl region. The climate is Mediterranean (cold, wet winters and dry summers) and the soils are a combination of decomposed granite and clay shale. Distance to the ocean is approximately 30km. 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 20 years.

After 9 months maturation in a combination of seasoned oak barrels and stainless-steel tanks, the various batches were blended and the wine was aged for a further 6 months before being bottled.

The grapes were hand-picked, partially de-stemmed and then fermented in small open topped tanks.

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.
