Jacobsdal is situated between Stellenbosch and Kuils River on the slopes of the hills overlooking False Bay a mere ten kilometres away. The family has been making wine on the estate for three generations. The estate is 260 hectares in size, of which 92 hectares are planted with vineyards
At Jacobsdal something of the “Old World” lives on. Here wine farming is a creative act, and dedication to soil and vine a way of life. The wine is made with minimal intervention. No cultured or selected yeasts have ever been used in the Jacobsdal cellar. The wine is produced using traditional French techniques.
The Pinotage variety is unique to South Africa. Pinotage has been made on Jacobsdal from 1966 and is produced from older vines, which lend character to the wine. Dry, medium-full, complex and delicately rounded. Elegant and velvety soft with a rich bouquet so distinctive of the Pinotage cultivar. Jacobsdal also offer Cabernet Sauvignon.
