Food Production - Plettenberg Bay, Western Cape, South Africa
In 2006, when Doug and Sue Lund bought fallow land in Plettenberg Bay, winemaking in the region was only an idea, and Newstead Wines was just a dream. Newstead has since been described as the best kept secret inside the South African wine industry's best kept secret. The first vintages of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc were released in 2012 to almost immediate acclaim, and awarded at several shows. Pinot Noir came next. With the release of the Cap Classique (French method Sparkling wine) , critics really took notice, and Newstead now has an avid following of fans in South Africa and aficionados abroad (see accolades below).The estate has also cultivated a growing but not overgrown offering. Weddings and events, when taken on, attract guests from as near as Plettenberg Bay, and as far as the US and Europe. They're drawn by the astonishing location, the outstanding quality of the food and wine, and the care that goes into making each event unique and personal. Lunch and picnic menus change daily. Market days include local growers and artisans. And stylishly understated accommodation in the vineyards is characteristically warm and authentic.That welcoming intimacy is the thread that runs through any Newstead experience. As the name "Lund Family Vineyards" suggests, the sense of family is palpable. Homeliness has heart and small really is special. "We're a boutique winery. We won't produce large quantities of wine, or anything else, at the expense of quality."
