Theuniskraal Wine Estate

Where wine is more than a drink. It’s a story, a history, a way of life.

“Where the mountains stand guard and the rivers whisper through the vines, Theuniskraal’s wines find their soul.”

The Heart of the Valley

A Legacy in Every Glass

Nestled in the heart of the Tulbagh Valley, where time slows and the mountains stand as ancient sentinels, lies Theuniskraal — South Africa’s very first white-wine estate and a cherished cornerstone of Cape winemaking heritage. Since 1948, Theuniskraal has embodied a legacy of elegance, family tradition, and timeless quality.

The Farm & Vineyards

Nature’s Gift, Carefully Cultivated

Surrounded by snow-capped peaks and nourished by ancient rivers, our farm sits at the heart of one of the Western Cape’s most celebrated terroirs. With 120 hectares under vine and soils rich in character, we grow our grapes with integrity, respect, and care for the land.

“Some Legacies are Built in Stone; Ours is Rooted in the Soil.”

Theuniskraal’s history is inseparable from that of the Jordaan family — generations bound by the same valley, the same vines, and a shared belief that wine is not simply made, but lived.

Our History

One Enduring Legacy

From the original settlers in 1699 to Helena Debora Jordaan’s bold purchase in 1927 and the first gold medal in 1950, Theuniskraal’s story is one of perseverance, family, and timeless tradition. Today, the third generation of Jordaans carries the torch — not only producing fine wine, but preserving a way of life.
