Producer

Niel Joubert Wines is a family-owned estate situated on the slopes of Simonsberg Mountain, just outside Stellenbosch, Paarl. The Joubert family has farmed here for five generations, combining deep local knowledge with a philosophy of minimal intervention. The Rondeberg range is named after one of the estate’s most prominent hills and reflects the unique microclimate and soils of the region. Cabernet Sauvignon thrives in the warm days and cool evenings of the Western Cape, resulting in wines that are ripe, structured and proudly South African. Sustainability, family heritage and approachability are at the core of everything they produce.

  • Slow-roast leg of lamb with rosemary and garlic

  • Beef bourguignon or steak pie with peppercorn gravy
