A Trusted Link Between Estate & Market

Lemberg Wine Estate was established in 1978 by acclaimed winemaker Janey Muller and quickly earned a reputation for distinctive Sauvignon Blanc and the rare Hungarian varietal Hárslevelü. The estate’s name pays tribute to Lemberg, now known as Lviv in Ukraine, reflecting its European roots and heritage. Since its purchase in 2007, this boutique wine estate has undergone careful development in both the vineyard and cellar, expanding to a production capacity of around 100 tons. New plantings include Pinot Noir, Grenache Noir, Pinotage, Syrah and Viognier, while the original Sauvignon Blanc vineyards continue to deliver exceptional fruit alongside the ever-intriguing Hárslevelü.

Today, Lemberg is driven by a philosophy of patience, passion, and steady refinement under the guidance of Henk du Bruyn and Suzette Jansen van Rensburg. A strong culture of teamwork underpins the estate’s success, complemented by a welcoming tasting room atmosphere made memorable by its resident English bulldogs. Winemaking is led by MC Stander, a Stellenbosch University graduate, whose approach focuses on capturing varietal character, soil, and regional expression with as little interference as possible. This balance of heritage, thoughtful innovation, and natural winemaking continues to define Lemberg as a distinctive South African wine estate worth discovering.
