ou’ll find Klein Simonsvlei, the home of Niel Joubert Wines, on the slopes of the Simonsberg mountain range along the outskirts of Paarl. This expansive wine and fruit farm has beautiful scenery, which includes five rolling hills and ten dams fed from a natural mountain spring. The abundance of water and extensive land diversity means that on top of the 260 HA under vine, the farm also grows apples, pears, peaches, plums, naartjies, lemons and blueberries. Klein Simonsvlei has been in the Joubert family since 1898. Horticulturalists and grape growers by training, the farm is still run by 5th generation family members. In 1994, the wine range was renamed Niel Joubert — in honour of 3rd generation patriarch. To date, Niel Joubert has four wine ranges: The Estate Collection, The Reserve Collection, The Family Range (Export Label), and the Christine Marie Collection. Niel Joubert uses all their own grapes when making these awardwinning wines, and also grow unusual varietals such as Grüner Veltliner, Grenache Blanc and Noir, Tempranillo and Malbec.
