Jan harmsgat (JHG)

Region | robertson

JHG’s philosophy is to create delicious single-block wines – this is the smallest production unit for vineyards and may not exceed six hectares per cultivar. Since 1723, Jan Harmsgat Farm, or JHG, has been situated on the most southern tip of the Robertson Wine valley along the foothills of the Langerberg Mountains. Their unique position borders with the dry conditions of the Karoo as well as the cool sea breezes from the Coastal Regions. The direction of planting runs from east to west.

The JHG vinification process is conducted with minimal interference, using spontaneous fermentation and no enzymes during fermentation. Due to minimal interference through vinification, sediment may occur. Highlighting their vineyard’s unique characteristics, maturation takes place in neutral vessels.
