Joostenberg
Joostenberg has a long history. The farm was established by a Swedish settler in the late 1600’s. The oldest homestead on the farm a classic “Cape Dutch” manor house dates back to 1756 and has been declared a national monument. Originally mixed agriculture was practised on the farm and from the early 1800’s until 1947 both wine and brandy were made. Joostenberg was purchased by the Myburgh family in 1879 and ownership has remained with the family ever since. In 1947 winemaking ceased and for the following 52 years grapes were sold to the local co-op. In 1999 brothers Tyrrel and Philip Myburgh the 5th generation of Myburghs to farm this land resumed the winemaking tradition. Today Joostenberg is a small family owned and managed wine farm producing an exclusive range of wine. Of special importance are our Chenin Blanc and Syrah (Shiraz) grape varietals. We place special emphasis on individuality natural winemaking and environmental accountability through organic farming — full organic status was achieved in 2012.

A beautiful pale salmon hue. Aromas of pomegranate and watermelon are layered with a hint of ripe red apple. Delicate and sophisticated on the palate, with a subtle creaminess that adds texture and poise.
Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with grilled prawns, sushi, Mediterranean salads, roasted vegetables and light poultry dishes. It also works well as an aperitif or for relaxed outdoor dining.
