Joostenberg is a small, family-owned and run wine farm, in Muldersvlei on the border of Paarl and Stellenbosch. First established by a Swedish settler in the late 1600s, the farm was bought in 1879 by the Myburgh family, who have been here ever since. In 1999, after several decades when the estate sold its grapes to a local cooperative, 5th generation brothers Tyrrel and Philip Myburgh reprised Joostenberg’s long winemaking tradition. Their aim was to create wines with individuality and a sense of place, made as naturally as possible, with respect for the environment.

“A little neutral on the nose though very refreshing and citrusy on the palate. Tight finish. No hurry to drink this.”
South Africa is one of the world’s most exciting wine-producing regions today. Post-Apartheid, the South African wine industry is in renaissance, supported by investment and a dynamic new generation of winemakers keen to push quality boundaries and develop new vineyards and wine styles. Yet South Africa’s wine production dates back to the 1600s.
