“My great-grandfather was the first to plant vineyards in this area. Today these vines are still anchored deeply in the heart of the Weltevrede Estate. One of his vineyards is more than 80 years old and five generations of Jonkers have already tasted the fruit from these same vines.”

Planted in 1926, these bush vines are frail but still offering their crop every year. A blend of Red Muscadel and Muscat du Hambourg is made from ancient vines. This is the only vineyard in South Africa to be declared a Conservation Worthy Property by the Board for National Monuments. The picture on the label is that of my great-grandfather, the founder of Weltevrede.

Brick coloured dessert wine with rich musky flavours of ripe cherries and raisins. Fortified and full sweet.

Old Muscat de Frontignan vines are used to make this wine from. Grapes are picked at full ripeness and experience handed down from generation to generation is used to craft this wine. The picture on the label is that of my grandmother.

Bright golden colour and intense aromas. It reminds me of my grandmother’s sweets drawer. Fragrances of citrus blossoms and honey fill the room. It is full sweet but finishes with a beautiful elegance.

Alc. 16.4%

Patés, orange chocolate, fruit tarts and other desserts. Try it as welcome drink in a flute glass on crushed ice, a wedge of lemon and ginger.
