Back Story & Wine Information

We are one of South Africa’s oldest working farms with an unbroken tradition of growing and making wines for almost 330 years. But of course, our past extends way before then. From archaeological research we are learning more and more about the impact of the ancient seabed on which we lie and how it influences our Stellenbosch wines. Our documented history begins in 1696, the year the land was granted to Pieter de Vos by the Dutch East India Company, the local authority at the time. Coming here today, it’s not hard to see why De Vos chose to call his property Vergenoegd (in those days sometimes spelled as Vergenoegt). The Dutch name means “to be content or well-satisfied”.
