Boschendal Wine Estate

Neethlingshof is situated on the Stellenbosch wine route, near Spier Wine Farm and is flanked by the Bottelary Hills and Papegaaiberg Mountain . The farm is characterised by its kilometre long pine avenue, which they print onto their wines.

History

1963	Jannie Momberg bought Neethlingshof.
The Neethlings daughter married Jacobus Louw and the farm stayed with the Louw family for 100 years.
The Marais' son-in-law earns the nickname "Lord Neethling", because he assumed airs of importance, and the farm became known as Neethlingshof.
1814	The Marais family build the manor house.
1802	The Marais family build the wine cellar (they took over the farm from Lubbe).
1692	Willem Barend Lubbe is granted a site (by Simon van der Stel) on the Bottelary Hills overlooking False Bay. Lubbe names the farm De Wolwedans (meaning “The Dance of Wolves”, because he mistook for wolves the packs of jackals which roamed the countryside).
