Stellenrust

Legend has it, Stellenrust’s ancestral grandfather and founder believed that winemaking is an art – “it should pulse through your veins” he used to mumble: “you’re born a Da Vinci – you can’t be made a Da Vinci!” The same methodology still applies to viticulture and winemaking at Stellenrust. Managing partners, Kobie van der Westhuizen and Tertius Boshoff, were both given the opportunity to study a degree other than wine before making the hardy decision to follow their artistic passion for the drink of the gods. Kobie, a qualified accountant and Tertius, a medical practitioner and dentist, joined the family run operation in 2005 and set forth a journey of vigorous growth and discovery for an age old wine brand, her deep rooted vines and her people. Stellenrust harvests from nearly 400ha of vineyards surrounding the beautiful town of Stellenbosch. From the decomposed granite of the Helderberg’s Golden Triangle to the sandy clay soils of the maritime Bottelary Hills – each site is specifically suited and selected for the grape varieties and wines we produce. Winemakers are mere mediators from vine to bottle – it is our duty to capture the essence of the soil and the soul of the vine in every drop of wine we craft.
