Joostenberg
Joostenberg produces Chenin Blanc from Western Cape vineyards, a region where the variety finds ideal conditions for complexity and age-worthiness. The winery's portfolio centers on expressions of old-vine fruit: the Myburgh Bros. Old Vine Chenin Blanc and Die Agteros Old Vine Chenin Blanc both demonstrate the depth that mature vines can achieve. A younger-vine counterpart, Die Agteros Chenin Blanc, rounds out the range. Chenin Blanc in this region typically balances stone fruit and mineral character with natural acidity, capable of developing nuance over time. Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, and Decanter have all assessed Joostenberg's releases, with the Myburgh Bros. Old Vine bottling earning particular recognition among prestige critics.
