About the Boustred Family
The Cullinan, the largest gem-quality diamond ever found was named after mine-owner Sir Thomas who is the great grandfather of Chris and Rob Boustred. Thomas Cullinan (1862-1936) was knighted in 1910 in recognition of his contribution to industrial development in South Africa. He had a family of ten children, of which, Chris and Rob Boustred, are descendents. BUY
About Remhoogte Wine Estate
The farm has a history dating back to 1812, however the first wines were produced in 1995 by the Boustred family. Remhoogte is a family owned and run estate on the foothills of the Simonsberg Mountains in Stellenbosch, the second oldest town in South Africa known for its natural beauty and oak-lined avenues, Cape Dutch architecture, history, culture and wine routes.
We would like people who drink our wines to experience the estate, our soils, our slopes, our vines and our terroir. Wine should be experienced and not merely drunk and we endeavour to make every bottle of our wine a memorable experience. Visit the website here.
REMHOOGTE, where the WINES, like diamonds, are forever!
We believe wine is made in the vineyards, and our goal is to allow the vineyards to express themselves by interfering as little as possible.As a result we have adopted a minimalist approach in both the vineyards and the cellar. The idea being to minimalise the human influence on the final product. In the vineyards we do everything by hand, from pruning to harvesting,” Chris Boustred, Winemaker
