Old Boys looking for the ideal Father’s Day gift, should set off to Paul Roos Spar this month where they have limited special wines, all made by several Old Boy winemakers and their sons, now also involved and continuing the family winemaking tradition.
Middelvlei is sedert 1919 in die Momberg-gesin se besit. Vandag is broers Ben en Tinnie die derde generasie wynmakers, en volg hulle in die voetspore van hul vader Stiljan Momberg, maar hul seuns Jannik en Jan-Hendrik is nou die vierde geslag wat betrokke raak. Natuurlik almal Old Boys.
Ernst en Glenda Gouws en hul drie kinders is al 40 jaar bedrywig in die wynbedryf. Ernst se seun, Ernst junior, is soos sy pa, ook ‘n Old Boy, en in beheer van die verspreiding van die familiewyne van Ernst Gouws & Co., en staan ook sy pa by as wynmaker in eie reg. Dogters Imke en Ezanne is ook betrokke, en so word die trotse familiegeskiedenis voortgesit.
Stellenbosch Family Wines is owned by three families of which the De Vries family has a wine heritage of more than 80 years. The wines are made by the De Vries father and son team, Andrew and Carlo de Vries. Carlo is a grade 11 learner in Paul Roos – both a 4th generation Paul Rooser and 4th generation winemaker.
The Steytler family has farmed at Kaapzicht since 1946 and Danie senior and his younger brother George are the 3rd generation owners of the estate. Danie’s son, like his dad Danie (also an Old Boy) is now the winemaker, while his dad overseas the finances and helps with marketing and distribution.
