ROZENDAL FARM

Rozendal Farm comprises of 6ha of old vines, 4ha of pastures, 2ha of gardens and living space and 13ha of forest and fynbos. The farm is situated in the Jonkershoek Valley on the border of Stellenbosch, at the foot of the Jonkershoek Mountains.

Since 1994 Rozendal is managed biologically (bio+logical = biological) with an environmental and health conscious approach, which ensures clean air and pure water. In May 2001 we switched to Bio dynamic farming methods and have become members of the Bio dynamic Agricultural Association.

We have a mixed farming operation including vegetables and animals (dairy cows and horses).  All life is encouraged.

 
Our philosophy of food and health has culminated in these unique products:
 

Rozendal Mixed Vinegar

This vinegar is macerated with green tea, chili, carob, lavender, sweet pepper and kelp. Use as an aperitif or mix with water for a refreshing quencher.

Rozendal Lavender Vinegar

This vinegar is infused with lavender grown on our farm. Try a vinegar reduction: heat a large saucepan and allow simmering until caramelised.

Rozendal Fynbos Vinegar

This vinegar is macerated with herbs from South Africa´s unique Cape Floral Kingdom - buchu, wild rosemary, wild olive and rose geranium. Fynbos herbs chosen to reflect the rich bio diversity of the Cape Biome and for it´s medicinal properties.

  • The organic cult wine Rozendal -02 by Nathalie and Tanya at ROZENDAL, Stellenbosch.

  • Reyneke Cornerstone -06. Great balanced wine for the discerning.
  • Reyneke Sauvignon Blanc -07, Fantastic light and fresh wine with a sparkling hint.
     

Reyneke wines

"Ultimately one of the greatest benefits of bio-dynamics is its ability to create a greater sensitivity and awareness of our inability to understand and explain everything. This leads to a respect and tolerance for that which does not seem important to us. Finally it serves as a counter measure for the overbearing materialism and spiritual poverty that is the hallmark of our modern culture."

Johan Reyneke.

MIGLIARINA SHIRAZ 2005

NOSE BAR REVIEW (2004):

"What wine do sommeliers like to recommend? Their own! Carsten Migliarina has forsaken a life of watching others drink in order to make his own delicious and elegant shiraz, much of which he does, of course, drink himself. And very right and proper too - if I could make wine as tasty and more-ish as this, that is certainly what I would be doing as well so we must grab our share while we can - dark brooding black fruits and a creamy vanilla finish."

We grabbed 60 cases.

                    Mandela, the boxer.

"I was never an outstanding boxer, I did not enjoy the violence of boxing so much as the science of it. I was intrigued by how one moved one's body to protect oneself, how one used a strategy both to attack and retreat, how one paced oneself over a match. Boxing is egalitarian. In the ring, rank, age, colour, and wealth are irrelevant."

Nelson Mandela.
