  • Joostenberg Estate Chenin Blanc Noble Late Harvest

    2022
    This wine has become one of our most popular and recognized wines and a huge amount of effort, both in the vineyard and the winery, is put into it every year. It is very dependent on weather conditions and this means that the volume produced and the characteristics of the wine vary greatly from year to year.

  • Joostenberg Estate “Die Agteros” Chenin Blanc

    2023
    Our oldest Chenin Blanc vineyard was used to make this wine. It was planted in 1982 and for the first 20 years its fruit was sent to the local co-op and used for rather modest dry white blends. To be honest it’s an ugly, gnarly looking vineyard and year after year we contemplated its removal, but as soon as we started making our own wine on the farm we recognized its quality. We now care for this vineyard lovingly every Read More ...

  • Joostenberg Estate Fairhead

    2023
    Every year we make a small batch of white wine named after Joostenberg’s current matriarch and gardener extraordinaire, Gillian Fairhead. This wine honours the women of Joostenberg whose substantial efforts, in a male dominated society, have often been unrecognized. The core of the wine is old vine Chenin Blanc and the blending partners are the more exotic Roussanne and Viognier varietals.

  • Myburgh Bros. Kaalgat Steen

    2022
    Starting in 2014 we regularly made small batches of “orange” wine from an old, organically certified, dry farmed Chenin Blanc vineyard. We have always been amazed by the resulting aromas, flavors and overall expression. In the Autumn of 2021 we decided to take things a step further and started farming the vineyard in a more natural way . The long term aim is to end up with a small, “slightly wild” vineyard that is resilient to disease and pests and Read More ...

  • Joostenberg Estate “Philip Albert” Cabernet Sauvignon

    2020
    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.
