DISCOVER A HERITAGE THAT CANNOT BE BOUGHT

Newsletter - July 2009

This beautiful estate is situated in the picturesque Breede River Valley just outside Rawsonville at the foot of the Du Toitskloof Mountains. It has been in the Deetlefs family since 1822. Kobus Deetlefs, with his family, is the sixth generation to live on the farm, in the original Cape Dutch homestead overlooking the magnificent, award-winning gardens. Deetlefs Wine Estate is the 3rd oldest wine estate owned by the same family in South Africa (1822).
Hierdie pragtige Landgoed, geleë aan die voet van die Du Toitskloof berge, net buite Rawsonville, is al vanaf 1822 in die Deetlefs Familie. Kobus Deetlefs en sy gesin, die 6de generasie, bly steeds in die oorsponklike Kaap Hollandse huis met sy prag tuine. Deetlefs Landgoed is die 3de oudste wynlandgoed wat besit word deur dieselfde familie in Suid Afrika (1822).

	DID YOU KNOW... The original Deetlefs was a German soldier/seafarer from the Hennstedt-area in Germany by the name of Johannes Deetlefs (Detlefs / Dethlef) who reputedly arrived in SA in 1753 after falling
	overboard /put ashore in Saldanha Bay because he was a bit "difficult". Whatever the truth of that tale, the family business breathes over 200 years of history.
