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 Chardonnay tour at Weltevrede was one of the best wine tours we have ever joined. The tour guide was absolutely great. His knowledge and skill to present the tour was exceptional. The lay out of the cellar and underground tunnels was done in a very innovative way and the tasting of your excellent Chardonnay contributed to a most enjoyable experience. Thank You Weltevrede.
