About us

De Meye is a privately owned, boutique winery situated in Stellenbosch sub-region known as Greater Simonsberg, one of South Africa's most prestigious wine regions, with neighbours such as Simonsig, Kanonkop, Warwick, Laibach and Hoopenburg.
The owners Jan and Philip Myburgh are the fifth generation to farm in this area.
The farm and winery is named after the De Meye river in Holland, where the first Myburgh, who came to South Africa in 1665, used to live.
De Meye is 100ha in size of which 50ha is planted to vineyard. The vines grown on the farm have been carefully selected to suit our terroir. They are:

• Shiraz
• Cabernet Sauvignon
• Merlot
• Cabernet Franc
• Chardonnay
• Chenin blanc

All our wines are produced from grapes grown on our farm. Approximately 220 tons are utilised for De Meye. The rest is sold off to various co-operatives and neighbouring farms. Our wines speak of modern vineyard management, of care taken from the vineyard to the cellar, of respect for our environment and of attention to detail. All grapes are handpicked and sorted to ensure top quality wines by using superior grapes.
