Nuweland Fine Food & Wine

Juan Louw jnr. is the winemaker on the farm. After finishing his studies, he went to work in a cellar on the island of Alameda, near San Francisco. For the next harvest he moved to Nieu Zeeland where he worked in a cellar on the South Island.

His first dessert and red wines were made in a small cellar in Calitzdorp in 2007. Everything was done by hand. All the bottles are waxed and not encapsulated.  He is the only winemaker in South Africa that makes a fortified wine with sun-dried grapes that is not fermented.

We want to share our experience of making wine using the methods of years gone by with our customers and friends.

Our farm is situated on the Darling Rd (R315) and can be reached from the N7 or the R27. We grow 87 hectares of wine grapes on dry land and will be planting another 8 hectares soon.  

Share with us the winemakers motto "As long as I can enjoy a good wine, I`ll be a rich man."
