The third generation, Lourens Jonker, completed his degree in viniculture and undertook extensive study tours of the wine lands of Europe and California in 1962 before settling down on the farm Weltevrede. After the death of his father in 1969, Lourens took over the 65-ha farm. He subsequently purchased neighboring farms Muscadel (1969), River’s Edge (1981), and Sonop (1999). Today all the farms are consolidated as a 160-hectare estate.
Lourens is one of the pioneering figures of the South African wine industry establishing a legacy as chairman of the KWV and serving on several industry bodies. He also served on boards of companies outside the wine industry, like ABSA and Naspers. He received the National Farmer of the Year Award for South Africa from the Agricultural Writer’s Association of South Africa in 1996. Lourens stepped back recently to leave the estate in the hands of his son, Philip. He now enjoys a more relaxed lifestyle.

The underground tasting was an unbelievable experience! I have done it twice and every time enjoyed the information and the tour to be more than world class. This tour is a must see experience and offers so much more than what can be put in words!

This was a very special experience that gave food for thought long after leaving there. We had meaningful conversations with staff. The wine is excellent and the life lessons staying by you. More than a physical experience, a spiritual experience as well!

I had such an amazing time creating a Cap Classique on my birthday, and this is a memory I will carry with me for a lifetime. Can't wait to return and do it with my friends.
