Beau Joubert
Beau Joubert can trace its viticultural history back to 1695 and first came into the possession of the Joubert family at the end of the 18th Century, when it was purchased by Dirk Daniel Joubert. Dirk Daniel divided the estate between his two sons and thus it remained as two separate farms for the best part of 200 years, one part always remaining in the Joubert family whilst the other was subsequently passed through many hands. Happily in the late 1960s, another Dirk Joubert and his brother Stephanus were able to reacquire the lost lands and buildings to make the two farms, a single estate once again.
Today it is run by Jannie and Lukas Joubert in partnership with a group of US businessmen from Wisconsin. The dedication and drive of the young Jouberts together with the backing and investment from their US partners is enabling the estate to make the most of its fabulously situated, 166 hectares, 70 hectares of which are under vine. Situated close to Stellenbosch, the vineyards of Beau Joubert are nestled on the upper south facing slopes of the Vlaeberg Valley.
At an altitude of 130 to 300 metres they benefit from the cooling breezes of False Bay and a mineral rich granite terroir. The principal red grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Shiraz together with more recent plantings of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Pinot Noir. White wines are produced from Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin and Colombard.
The premium wines are released under the winery's name Beau Joubert. However, there is also a fabulous range of more easy drinking, entry level wines, sold under the Oak Lane label, which name depicts the lane of old oak trees leading to the cellar and homestead. Today all the vineyards are under the specific care of Lukas Joubert.
