Joostenberg Wine Estate, Fifth-Generation Winery with Swedish Roots
Joostenberg Wine Estate is a fifth-generation family-owned winery located in the Muldersveli district in Stellenbosch. It has a long history and was set up in the late 1600s by a Swedish settler. A classic Cape Dutch manor house is present on the farm that dates back to 1756 and is a National Monument now. The Myburgh family bought the estate in 1879 and still owns it to this day. Winemaking at the farm stopped in 1947. The brothers, Philip and Tyrrel Myburgh, started winemaking again in 1999. The winery places a lot of importance on natural winemaking, sustainability, and organic practices. In 2012, Joostenberg achieved full organic status, and its wines sell both abroad and locally.
