Winery Neethlingshof Estate

The property has documented origins in 1692, when Willem Barend Lubbe began cultivating the land then known as De Wolwedans. In the following centuries the estate passed through several families and expanded its wine production; the cellar and the manor house were completed in the early 19th century. Beginning in the 2000s the estate launched a biodiversity conservation program and, after various commercial partnerships, the property was acquired by the Grands Chais de France group in 2022.

Production focused on respect for the land: viticultural practices that promote biodiversity, rational water use, natural pest control and composting of winery residues. Winemaking follows vegan guidelines for many wines, and the company aims to combine historical tradition with environmental responsibility.

Located between the Bottelary Hills and the Papegaaiberg near Stellenbosch, it benefits from the cooling influence of False Bay sea breezes. Varied soils and multiple distinct terroirs favour different grape varieties.

Recent recognitions include medals and mentions in international competitions and positive evaluations in specialized guides.
