The Myburgh Bros Old Vine Chenin Blanc from Joostenberg is a true revelation. These fifth-generation winemakers farm a special plot of dry-farmed bush vines planted in 1984 on their Hercules Pillar farm.
Joostenberg isn’t just a winery. It’s a complete farm-to-table operation with a deli, butchery (hence the Pig on the label), bistro, and organic vegetable production. This is a family operation that you want to root for. This holistic approach to agriculture shines through in their wines.
What they’re doing with these savvy old vines is nothing short of magic. Everything they do has meaning, and they take about double the amount of steps that their neighbors do to ensure results that are anything but ordinary.
