Our Story
De Meye Estate is a family-owned winery, situated in Muldersvlei on the Stellenbosch Wine Route, arguably South Africa’s most prestigious winemaking region. The Myburgh family has been farming in this area for five generations.
We aim to make great wine that people can enjoy sharing on and off the estate. The Table Restaurant offers delicious meals made from locally sourced ingredients.
Today, our family’s history and farming tradition forms an integral part of our business story, this is echoed with the Myburgh family crest serving as De Meye’s logo. Our current owner, Philip Myburgh, is upholding the family’s history, whilst assuring a dynamic and modern take on wine and its production.
The vines growing on De Meye farm have been carefully selected to suit the unique terroir of the area. The red varietals grown include Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Shiraz while Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc make up our white varietals. The farm is 100ha in size and holds the winery, cellar and storage. The whole process from the vineyards to the cellar and further to sales and exports is handled inhouse and by doing this we can ensure the high quality and authenticity that distinguishes De Meye.
