Joostenberg Estate “Philip Albert” Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
R215.00
Dominant cedar wood aromas and blackberry undertones immediately identify this wine as a Cabernet Sauvignon. The palate is in the classic mode i.e. medium bodied with a long finish, marked by elegant, dry tannins.
Description
The first Myburgh to farm at Joostenberg was Philipus Albertus Myburgh and 5-generations later his off-spring are still tilling the soil and acting as custodians of this little patch of earth.
This is the first release of Cabernet Sauvignon under this label and the grapes were sourced exclusively from Joostenberg vineyards. It’s a classically styled Cabernet Sauvignon leaning towards the old world.

Joostenberg Estate “Die Agteros” Chenin Blanc 2023
R215.00 Add to cartWhen oxen were used as draft animals the youngest, least experienced ox was positioned at the rear of the
team. As he got stronger and more skilled he worked his way to the front, hence the Afrikaans saying
“agteros kom ook in die kraal”, meaning “the hind ox gets there eventually”. These grapes come from the
oldest vineyard on the farm, planted in 1982. This lovingly tended vineyard was under-valued for many
years before its real potential was noticed. -
