1695
Story has it, Jan Coenraad Visser (JCV) was veelverjaagt (chased around enough) as Governor Simon van der Stel’s property developer. He was then granted this land, now titled as Veelverjaagt. Located on the Polkadraai Road, Stellenbosch and the south-side of the Bottelray Hills.
Late 1700’s
A century later, the farm was bought by a French Huguenot descendant, Dirk Daniel Joubert. Since then, five Joubert generations have placed their unique stamp on this incredible property.
2000
An exciting new era dawned at the turn of the millennium that led to a vibrant American/South African joint venture leading to what’s known today as Beau Joubert.
2016 - date
Co-Owner and MD, Andrew Hilliard has taken full title of the brands, eventually partnering with award winning winemaker, Catherine Marshall for their first vintage in 2019.
Beau Joubert is an American-owned wine brand, rich with traditional wine making history within the Cape Winelands, South Africa.
