The Farm Behind
the Bottle

Winshaw has been Winshaw family land for 44 years. Brothers Pierre and JP are the fourth generation to farm it — growing boutique wines, raising grass-fed cattle, and cooking long lunches under oaks old enough to have shaded their great-grandfather.

Their ancestor, Dr. William Charles Winshaw, arrived from Kentucky in 1900 and went on to found the Stellenbosch Farmers Winery in 1925 — creating Château Libertas, Tassenberg, and Zonnebloem. Pierre and JP are doing something smaller and more interesting.

Usana Farming · Regenerative Agriculture

Cattle Between
the Vines

The grass-fed herd grazes cover crops between vine rows. Chickens rotate on pasture. The on-site butchery supplies the eatery directly. Nothing is outsourced; nothing is rushed.

Regenerative farming isn't a marketing term here — it's the reason the soil is healthier each year than the last.
